22. Sheep indeed...
One of my favorite authors brought this point up...
About the 'Good Shepherd' and his flock...WHY does a shepherd look after his flock? Are they pets? Are they family?

Last I heard, a shepherd looks after his flock so they can be shorn of their wool (i.e. fleeced) regularly and every now and then you can take some for MEAT...

HELLO? Ever wonder where that roast leg of lamb with mint sauce you have at Easter comes from?
Besides the store, I mean? :eyes:


:bounce:I found out at the fair last year that most of the lambs that get eaten are black sheep since they are no good for wool...their wool can't be dyed. Quality is the same, just color can't be changed.
