Babydoll Southdown Sheep Wear Beards and Ugg BootsDeb Royans is an Australian breeder of some unique sheep. The Southdown Babydoll breed is known for being short, less than 62 centimeters (24 inches) tall at adulthood. They also have a unique look, with particularly hairy faces that give them the appearance of growing a beard, and extra wool from their knees down that make them look as if they are wearing Ugg boots. Their faces appear to be smiling, and they are overall charming little sheep, even when fully grown. In other words, they are the Hobbits of the ovine world.Southdown Babydoll sheep in Australia haven't yet developed valuable wool, and they are sold for meat and for lawn mowing like other breeds. But they are particularly prized as pets, and by tourist businesses that need an attractive flock to show off. They are altogether adorable! -via Fark​#sheep #SouthdownBabydollsheep

Australian Farmer Pays Tribute to His Late Aunt Through Heart-Shaped "Sheep Art"Unable to attend his aunt's funeral due to covid lockdown, a farmer in Australia decided to pay tribute with the help of his sheep.After two years of battling cancer, Ben Jackson's aunt passed away in Brisbane, Australia. Unfortunately, Jackson wasn't able to attend the funeral as he was 200 miles away in Guyra, New South Wales, and travel was restricted due to the coronavirus lockdown in the country.So Jackson laid out grain by hand in the shape of a giant heart, and then set out his hungry sheep to do the rest of the "sheep art" work. He captured his flock of sheep forming the heart by using a drone."I just hope that when I did it, she was having a peep through the clouds and was able to see it," Jackson said to 7News in Sydney.#sheep #love #heart #dronephotography
