I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.

“So… you’ve been absent for 52 days, missed 47 roll call votes, and no one knows if you’re still alive?”
