:sheep:
they own the hills and valleys, this is their kingdom
Not petting sheep is reactionary.
Feed them some grass first to gain their trust.
they have so much grass already, they have a very very open space full of much grass and bush.
Is there a special treat, or some sort of ritual?
in general, ‘anything green/vegetably from outside of the paddock’ is a treat for any herbivore
Treats For Sheep
Carrots.
Celery.
Apple.
Watermelon.
Blueberries.
Strawberries.
Raspberries.
Bananas.
According to google.
My goat thinks bananas are the best thing on earth, if I hold one up so he can see it he’ll come sprinting over. Carrots are up there too, but really anything with high fructose is gonna make them happy.
If you don’t pet every sheep equally it’s not real communism
steal one
Farm animals can totally be pets. My chickens let me pet them, my ducks follow me around the yard and my goat is sure that he’s a dog.
I had a few in my backyard this summer and one tried to headbutt their way into my backdoor. Hilarious little rascal.
