I love a bit lamb but I’m training myself to choose fish before red meat as much as possible. I’m still learning.

My advice: beware the sheperd with the oversized rubber boots

Unstranger; I blame the parents.

Granny; I’d prefer vineyard expertise!

Kirk M; I can think of a third purpose for sheep, but I’m a good Catholic girl so I won’t mention it.

I’m still chuckling about that bastardized Dr.Suess cover.

I love (to eat) lamb, I freely admit it. I’ve done lambing season (why oh why does it have happen on the coldest night of the month?) and I guess that makes me a bit immune to their cuteness I suppose.

Sheep have two purposes…wool and meat. Okay, they also do a fine job at keeping power lines clear of scrub and underbrush.

Give me a leg of lamb any day.

I make myself absent during slaughtering time though.

You have County Clare farming stock blood coursing through the veins, no doubt the little one has a dollop too!

Jelly monster; Mmm… yes, kebab from Abrakastabra is yer only man after a night on the tiles.

JD; Never get attached to baby livestock! The only calves I can even look at now are the ones below me kness.

Grow Up; I’m really looking forward to that conversation about fish not having fingers and buffaloes not having wings!

Baino; Baby lambs are the very cute ones… normal lambs are the ones with shitflicks on them. It’s very simple really. With you all the way on the pepper sauce.

Brianf; I hope it didn’t involve any Geeps?

Green Of Eye; They do have a sort of musty crappy sort of smell, I know exactly what you mean. Puppychild will be fine in her vegetarian state, she’s surviving very well on olives and M&Ms. She’d give anything for a runty lamb on a range though!

Growing up on a farm has left me with the inability to eat lamb…It may sound mad but lambs have a certain smell.

Well they do when their mum has rejected them and you stick ‘em in a box on top of a range for warmth whilst feeding them by hand.To this day if i even get a whiff of cooked lamb i gag. Poor puppychild :(

I had a sheep once. His name was Ernie. He ran away with a goat named Sabina. They didn’t live happily ever after. It was an urban tragedy.
