Sara's Leicester Longwool Sheep!

August 3, 2021

In my last post, I wrote about my trip to Sara’s in Baltimore, MD and promised to post photos of her sheep. Here we go!

Nenana- the cutest Romney sheep ever- look at those little curls on her ears!

Eli (left) and his son Linden- both Leicester Longwool sheep.

Violet with the white nose and Farfel hiding out behind her- we see you! They are both Leicester Longwool sheep.

Leicester Longwool sheep are a rare breed that have such great history. George Washington raised them at his home at Colonial Williamsburg. There is still a flock of Leicester Longwool sheep there today.
