Sheep Wood Carvings
The domestic sheep is a woolly ruminant. (A ruminant is
any hooved animal that digests its food in two steps, first by eating the
raw material and regurgitating a semi-digested form known as cud, then
eating the cud, a process called ruminating.) Sheep breeders refer to female
sheep as ewes, intact males as rams, castrated males as wethers, yearlings
as hoggets, and younger sheep as lambs. A group of sheep is called a flock
or mob.
There are many breeds of sheep, but these are generally classed as: wool
class, hair class and sheep meat breeds.
Breeds of meat sheep include Suffolk, Hampshire, Dorset, Columbia, and Texel.
Hair class sheep are the original class of sheep in the world, developed for
meat and leather. True hair sheep, are those breeds such as St. Croix,
Barbados Blackbelly, Mouflon, Santa Inez and Royal White. These sheep shed
their protective down fiber to an all hair coat in the Spring/Summer. Hair
class sheep are becoming more popular for their no-shear aspects.
