Sheep run through a paddock as bushfire smoke rises on nearby hills at Longwood, Victoria. Across the region houses were reduced to warped steel, with brick chimneys often the only thing left standing.

This image captures two Icelandic sheep standing close together in tall grass, their thick white wool glowing softly in the light. One sheep looks directly toward the camera while the other peers gently from behind, creating a moment that feels calm, curious, and intimate. Their dense, weatherproof coats speak to centuries of adaptation to Iceland’s harsh climate.

The barbed wire speaks of hard work and resilience; the flowers, of tenderness and joy. The farmer's Tribute is a love letter strung across wire.

Bloomin’ Cold!
It was my turn to walk the dogs today. OH had gone to town, shopping, as we were down to our last carrot – apparently it was pandemonium in our two supermarkets. As fast as the shelves were…My Shetland
Last one for today: momma sheep and lamb.
(Black lambs, like black cats, are super hard to photograph from a distance! Unless the sun catches them just right, they are just amorphous black blobs against the green grass. Lambs have low albedo, I guess?)

Sheep, “Fit the Second”
Last night after supper, I went back to the sheep shed in the pitch dark (I am scared of the dark) and quickly checked there was no more fighting. Everyone was peaceful. This morning the weather r…My Shetland
🐑🐐 While #sheep and #goats often share the same pastures, a "geep" – a natural hybrid of the two – is incredibly rare.
Because sheep have 54 chromosomes and goats have 60, most pregnancies aren't successful. However, every few years, a healthy hybrid with 57 chromosomes is born, featuring a unique mix of woolly coats and goat-like features.

"The UK has traditionally been largely self-sufficient in sheep meat. But high feed and farming costs, market uncertainty and low profitability have seen flocks fall to their lowest number ever recorded."
Does this mean that instead of exposed, subsidised #grazing maintaining ever barer #moorland which should be regrowing its tree-cover, we're trending towards using #sheep instead of oil-fueled machinery or herbicides to control the vegetation around solar #PV instalations? Win-win-win-win-win, I'd say. Or as another great account on here calls it #multiSolving @bethsawin

Solar grazing: ‘triple-win’ for sheep farmers, renewables and society or just a PR exercise for energy companies?
For Hannah Thorogood, a first-generation Lincolnshire farmer, grazing her sheep on solar land gave her a leg-up in the industryAmelia Hill (The Guardian)
Following stuff like #farming, #cows, #cowsofmastodon etc should start to pop up more relevant stuff in your home feed.
If you click on those now you might not see much cos your server is new but over time it'll fill up.

About one in 12 sheep is gay, but when rams prefer the company of other rams, they're considered a commercial failure and slaughtered. In Germany, some are lucky enough to end up in the Rainbow Wool sanctuary, a biodiverse sheep farm that prioritizes animal welfare, run by Michel Stücke and his partner Jochen. Last month, the wool from some of those sheep was showcased by LA designer Michael Schmidt in his "I Wool Survive" collection, a collaboration with Grindr and publicist Kelly Cutrone. Dazed talked to Schmidt and Cutrone about the collection. Learn more about Rainbow Wool — including how to sponsor a gay sheep — at the second link.
