Over the past few days I have shown you photographs I
took at The Argory and there are lots more of them to come, however we also
visited another nearby National Trust property after lunch on the same day and
that was Ardress House. Apart from the
house and grounds, there also is a farm and I am showing the sheep they had
there today. Unfortunately they were all at the other side of the field so I had to crop these shots.
I am linking with SATURDAY CRITTERS.
Many thanks for visiting and also to all who leave comments.
Very different to the sheep we see here. If you hadn't told us, I would have been thinking goats...
ReplyDeleteLovely photos :-)
ReplyDeleteThe second last one is my favourite! Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent series of sheep.
ReplyDeletePicture 5 is great.
Enjoy your weekend.
Unlike any sheep that I've seen before.
ReplyDeleteHello, Margaret! They do look different, like the big horn sheep seen in our western national parks. Great collection of photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThese lovely sheep and brown particularly attract attention.
This is the second blog where I watch these beautiful animals.
Great pictures, Margaret
Have a nice weekend:)
So different than the sheep we have here (Mississippi, USA)
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is the best!
beautiful herd!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post. I've never seen sheep like these. They do resemble the Bighorn Sheep that we have here, but those aren't generally raised domestically.
ReplyDeleteLook at those horns! Great pics of the sheep.
ReplyDeleteThose rams have some impressive horns. The wool would make great looking sweaters. Like the symmetry in your last photo.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what breed they are? Their horns are fab and that's a great shot of one standing up the wall to nibble the leaves!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots Margaret... love all of your adventures! A woman definitely enjoying your retirement to the fullest
ReplyDeleteBeauties! I like that shot of the one reaching up the wall.
ReplyDelete~
Great shots of the sheep.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the one ram climbing the wall to get those sweet leaves! Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI guess these are what we call Long Horned Sheep. They DO look a bit un-sheepish!
ReplyDeleteThose are some impressive horns.
ReplyDeleteHandsome animals! The horns are impressive.
ReplyDeleteImpressive big horns sheep. Well fed sheep!
ReplyDeleteWhat cool looking sheep. I enjoyed your photos of them very much.
ReplyDeletecheep are nice animals as long as I don´t have to touch them :) I like your dark ones.
