The Sheep
Names: Lincoln, Spot, Socks, Carlos and Rosy
Gender: Females
Breed: Texel/Belclare cross, Zwartble, Suffolk cross & Kerry Hill
Personality: When Lincoln was born, we all thought she looked like a ram so we christened her Lincoln – then we found out she was a girl but the name stuck! Spot & Socks originate from Holland and have lovely black wool with natural fiber. Carlos was a pet lamb last year and like Lincoln, she was so big that everyone thought she looked like a boy and so she was named Carlos. Rosy is a new addition to the farm and is a purebred Kerry hill. This breed is very rare in Ireland and when rosy came to the farm she was pregnant with two little lambs. Kerry hill sheep don’t actually come from Ireland but actually come from Wales.
