So, yesterday, I went to a sheep farm to experience sheep. Robin (pictured above) graciously agreed to tell me about sheep and let me experience sheep first-hand.

I learned:

1. How to tell the age of a sheep.
2. About the different kinds of wool.
3. How to tip a sheep–I would have liked to try it, but we didn’t have time.
4. What a sheep smells like–unfortunately, it’s hard to describe, but it’s not a bad smell
5. About the different types of sheep dung and what it tells about a sheep.
6. Different medical problems that a sheep can have
7. A lot more

My next book, an Old Testament romance, involves sheep. Everything I learned is going to make the book so much more interesting.

Many thanks to Robin for taking the time to give me the experience of sheep and to answer my million and one questions about sheep.

Thank you so much for reading this and sharing this adventure with me. If you have any knowledge about sheep, or just want to say something, please leave it in a comment below.
