Woody came to us from a that farm renamed sheep with flower names, so Oakley became Woodruff for them, Woody for us. Woody was shown by a young girl in his first years and it shows every time he dons his halter. He takes a judging stance and remains still. He is very affectionate and loves to be scratched under the chin. He also is a great babysitter for new ewes – guarding them from pushy sheep. As a wether, he is the perfect gentleman to the young ewes!
His fleece is multi-hued and he is also registered with the Natural Colored Wool Growers Association. When his is roo'd, he looks like a small Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep. People often stop along our road to see him.
