Sheep help the farm and the environment in many ways. Every spring, our sheep are sheared and provide us with over a ton of wool that is used to make yarn, sweaters, mittens, hats, carpets and other materials. They also help us by eating the grass and weeds. Because sheep live in flocks, they need a herder. Lookout Farm s sheep are lucky to have our Llama to help them stay together.
Sheep are grazers.
Their diet consists of mostly grass. There are over 900 different breeds of sheep. Thirty-five of these are in the United States. Sheep have poor eyesight, but an excellent sense of hearing. Sheep are missing their top front teeth.
