The donkey (Johnny Cash) is very protective. He carries on like a jack ass when a chicken is in the pasture! Haha. So, knowing nothing about sheep... do you have to shear him? trim horns or anything like that?

Pied is Male.... The neck feathers are just showing green, If it was male it would be showing blue.

yep, i shear the sheep once a year in spring and do their hooves at the same time while the are tipped on their backs. looks like they are sitting in a recliner chair

Oh, I am not set up for that much work... Haha! I will just admire yours. We have an Amish guy that does the donkey's trimming and I can't imagine hauling sheep over there, too! The donkey loading is enough of a 3 ring circus!
