Father/Son dinnertime at Winterpast Farm petting zoo in Wake Forest NC. BA BA the black sheep on left is a Shetland who was donated to Winterpast Farm three years ago when he was a baby. Farmer Mary bottle fed him and he still loves to walk on a leash and be her sheep-dog. He was born at a fiber farm and was, they said, “the wrong color”. We think he is perfect just the way God made him.
His son, MARTIN LUTHER, on the right, was born at Winterpast Farm on Martin Luther Kings Day two years ago. It is hard to see in this photo but he has double horns. His mom is ALBERTA who is a Jacob breed sheep and they can have up to six horns. She moved to Winterpast Farm after the rest of her flock was killed by coyotes at a nearby farm one night and the farmer lost interest in sheep.
Tonight all the pastured animals are in Farmer Mary’s side and back yard eating down the overgrown weeds for dinner.
Thank you for supporting a small local farm family.
