I’m a Sheep

I live on a farm with many kinds of animals.

Sheep are very gentle animals and very obedient and friendly.

The farmers herd us into flocks and we graze the lands for hours feeding on the grass and are led to water where we drink and gain our strength.

We follow the sheep in the front who are led by the farmers and dogs who keep us in formation and safe.

As an animal domesticated on a farm we produce milk and wool.

The farmers and veterinarians keep us healthy and safe and take good care of us so we’re able to grow and thrive.

We produce milk that the farmers use on the farm to sell to their customers and the markets.

We also are known for our wool which also is sold to market because it’s a popular item for clothing, coats and fashion accessories.

We are very social creatures and communicate among each other with our grunts, groans and cries.

As an animal that needs to graze the lands in groups we are most vulnerable when we wander astray. That is when we’re a target for attack by wolves, lions, tigers and other wildlife.

Our only means to escape is our speed but if we’re outrun or outmatched we don’t stand a chance.

That is why we must stay together always and never venture beyond the flock.

We are safe in numbers and united as a flock in formation on the grassy landscape.

We love to travel in the summer countryside and enjoy our times of grazing in large herds.

We are lovely and beautiful animals and we love to be visited by children who are so excited and happy to see us.

We also enjoy seeing the children as they seem so joyful and loving.

I love to be the center of attention and appreciate when I’m the subject of a child’s dream when they prepare for sleep as they count us because
