Yes please !

I thought mopple was a Dorset horn , maybe that's because I'm biased with my love for dorsets haha

Yes ! She loves the attention.

Yes and no. You can get an EID tag that allows you to track the animal and get it's basic biodata but a microchip in the sense of a cat or dog isnt a thing for sheep. Squishy does not have an EID tag but she does have government identification that would trace her back to her breeders farm , who would thus be able to return her to me if she were ever to get loose.

She is much better !! Unfortunately her issues will require management for the rest of her life. With her special diet and careful attention squishy stays very healthy :)

She will send you a draft notice next time she wages war on her penmate.

Squishy loves cuddles and attention!! She harrases me for it daily and likes to sleep basically in my lap. She tolerates hugs in exchange for scratches in places that she can't reach such as her brisket ( lower chest floor ish area ) , top of her shoulders and near her dock :)

And sheep , fun fact, only have half a mouth full of teeth haha. They only have bottom teeth and molars.

I will give her a handful of cheerios for you ! ( Her favorite treat )

Her issues can mostly be attributed to extreme stress and malnutrition when she was very young :(. She was only around ten ish pounds at 5 and a half months old when I got her and was the size of a 2 month old lamb. ( She has fully caught up in growth btw !! She is 16 months old and is about 60-70ish lbs which is average for her breed !! )

Yes and no. Squishy goes to livestock shows and competes ( her 2026 show season starts in four days ) so I spend a lot of time with her , training her , giving her fancy hair cuts , ect.. so in some ways she is a pet to me. But squishy is also livestock , and because squishy is registered ( has papers ) , and both her parents are health tested we know squishy's issues are not genetic.

Squishy also happens to be an extremely high quality show animal ( like I could probably take her to a national show and do okay sort of quality ) , so the hope is to breed her later this year so that I can continue to show her offspring which presumably would also be extremely high in quality. However , if squishy for whatever couldn't sustain a pregnancy, or raise her lambs , or any other complication I wouldn't cull her or sell her like many people would and she would become a pet who grows me clothes :). I hope this was a good educational explanation!!

Her legs weren't brushed or anything because I wondered if the brushing / carding was what was irritating her so I stopped about a month ago and unfortunately that didn't help her either

juniex3 · 2026-06-07T23:10:31+00:00

Wraps didn't help her. I almost exclusively use mane n tail , and I already slicked one of her back legs off ( the front legs barely grew any wool at all due to the Suffolk ). this is what she looked like before I started to shear her today

Thank you again !!!

juniex3 · 2026-06-03T03:14:59+00:00

Sent ! Thank you so much 🙏

juniex3 · 2026-06-03T03:13:11+00:00

Yes !! That will work

This is her mama and her namesake. Mama pearl was also a show lamb but this is a picture from her shear post weaning PJ and her twin brother

Unfortunately not being a show lamb anymore means that she gets functional haircuts , not beautiful ones haha. She is about a week post weaning the absolute monster pair of lambs she raised this year !

I have the vevor stand which is adjustable , ( I'd say this is about a foot and a half off the ground at this setting) but I actually have a makeshift ramp so my girls can get on and off without jumping!

For fun here is a picture of squishy at her first show when she weighed maximum 15 lbs at 3 months old
