Photo-a-Day  (Sunday, 26th May, 2024)

He would have you by the short and curlies !

He appears to have a swollen scrotum.

I guess it is male.

Agreed, Dennis......if yon mon says it's twelve o'clock. it's twelve o'clock and no arguing! I hope it's okay though, although it looks bonny enough! I'm not sure what it is....is it a shorn sheep?

He's a ram.

The dangly bit at the rear tells me it's a ram that has been polled (had its horns removed).
Possibly the Texel breed, judging by the shape of its head.

Looks like it caught you cheating at dominoes.

It looks part bull and part summat else …..whatever - it’s fierce looking. It looks like it’s got two mushrooms in its ears! Poor thing.

A wolf in sheeps clothing Dennis .

Cawnt bi shoower Dennis, bur it favers bi givin thi one o them certain female looks. Probubbly cos hers no clobber on!
Ow dur ewe!!

Its a ram. There's nowt wrong with it. It's in good nick.
Their 'tackle' is normally that size.

If it is a shorn sheep it doen't look best pleased about it.is that a horn in the middle of its head?

Are you surprised I'm mad? Look what they've done to me.

BAAA HUMBUG!!

It was in a field on its own between Woods Rd and Hall Lane, Aspull.
They must have been keeping him in good fettle for the week-end.
I think Gary is right, the last time I saw a face like that was the last time I played a ‘rung’ domino.

He doesn't look to pleased Dennis , probably doesn't like having his photo taken , he reminds in of Shrek LOL

Thats an XL Bully Sheep lol.

Think I may have gone off lamb chops after seeing that devil (smiley face)………Veronica those are I.D.tags in its ears.

It’s a tup and can’t wait to get back to the ewes.

Jumbo, I thought same something similar.
Now I think it is some kind of mutant ninja attack creature, an experiment that went tragically wrong.
But spare a kind thought for the poor animal, we can’t all be born beautiful and appealing, I’m sure his mother loved him.
Glad you were on this side of the fence though Dennis. Great picture.

John there’s not many sheep round Westhoughton these days I didn’t realise they were I D studs. There were plenty sheep on Skye though and in the Highlands;o)

It’s a tup and can’t wait to get back to the ewes.

Colin, believe me, I had no intention whatsoever of getting on the other side of the fence! I scuttled off as soon has I had taken the photo. That fence looked a bit too flimsy to contain this creature against his will!!

Pw. In the 1970’s I was invited to TupAware party. Goodness me the goings on. Had to make runner and left my sheepskin coat behind.

Veronica I’ve always wanted to go to Skye but not got there yet,when going over Shap it’s as if you’re in a different world I think Balmoral is the furthest north I’ve been,easy mistake about the I.D.tags.

I try to go somewhere different every year in Scotland John. I went to Balmoral and Glamis and passed the naughty Duchess of Argyle’s place last year. I want to go to Arran next time. Also the Orkney’s when I get the chance. ;o))

It is a tup and a Texel, look at its square face and, bless it, its done its job it can now rest and just spend the summer eating grass until “it’s time to start all over again “.
