Some Sheep facts ...

•When Woodrow Wilson was President, the First Lady had sheep graze on the White House lawn to keep it neat and well trimmed. •Sheep have a 270-degree radius of view, almost 3/4 of a circle. Humans only see 170 degrees at best. This makes sheep very difficult to sneak up on or surprise. Sheep have poor eyesight but excellent hearing. •Each sheep is individual and unique and can distinguish between all other sheep. They can recognize fellow flock mates even after years of separation. •Female sheep are called ewes, baby sheep are called lambs, and male sheep are called rams. A group of sheep is called a flock. A one-year old sheep is called a hogget. A two-year old sheep is called a two-tooth. •Sheep can be milked just like cows. Sheep milk is often used to make gourmet cheeses. •Sheep usually live to be about eight years old. •Sheep have been providing clothing to people for over 10,000 years.
