Made a picture of this fella during my lunch break today, and I really like the thoughtful expression on his face.
Unfortunately, I think this beautiful animal is bound to die sooner or later, as he and his friends are one of the meadows close to the slaughterhouse which is only a couple of metres away from where I work. And they are primarily specialized on sheep. :(
At least he lives on a beautiful meadow, and I hope there's still some time left for him to enjoy his life...

Lovely pic! I love sheep! Grew up with them on our farm. Still don't know how people get that sheep make a "baaah" noise, as ours always made very unpleasant bleating noises, lol. Maybe it's the breeds we had.

Great picture.:) I would think his wool would be more valuable than the
meat.

Yep he looks more like a wool Sheeper than a meat Sheeper ;). Lovely shot :).

I am SUCH a city girl.
Because if you would have showed me that picture and said, "What is this?", I would have replied, "That's a goat!" Of course, now that his generous quantity of wool was mentioned, I noticed it. But his face looked like a goat's to me.
Tells you what I know. :o

Well, to be honest, I would also think - judging only from the face - it may be as well a goat, but when you see the rest of him, it's definitely a some kind of sheep. :)

Maybe it's a furry goat ... like an angora goat. ;)
