Donna,

When we first got our sheep last year, as lambs, they were very skittish,
until we finished our first sheering and lambing season.  They still know
when we are up to more than just a feed or a visit.  Yours will relax too,
and until then you need to do what you can to take care of them

Dear List ,
    Oh , please don't get the idea that I in any way intend to manhandle
my sheep . If anything it's the very thing I am trying to prevent .
It's just that after 4 months only one of them will so much as let me
touch her and that's only when I have food . They do greet me when I
show up but always stay just out of reach . They are just extremely
skidish around humans.
I know the people that had them before did not interact with them much -
they actually disliked them and were eager to get rid of them .My goats
and chickens are now very tame and the sheep see me petting them all the
time , still they are fearful. Donna in Vermont
