R.I.P. Always sweet tempered, loved people, his only bad trait was the way in which he would jealously demand affection, to the point of butting you if he thought you were paying too much attention to another sheep. He left us about 16 offspring, most with nice wool but none with his disposition or knowing attitude. Declining since last summer, a week ago he went down and never got up again. We tried, but couldn't pull him out of it. Gone wherever good sheep go, he will be missed.
