Mulch of choice

We are hosting two sheep for a Future Farmers of America student. She visits each day to care for them. These pictures were after their "spa day" last summer (a bath, before a field trip they were going on). Needless to say, used sheep straw has been our mulch of choice for the garden so far!

Below is a current picture - March 2006. These girls just wouldn't pose for the picture, but you get the idea of their current size and wool coat. I guess eating grass is the normal pose for them!

Besides eating grass, they also enjoy knocking off any rock or other item placed on this bench. All of these items will be knocked off in a day or two.
