Millie and Candy sheep are home from the Food Farm at the Royal Easter Show. When we let them off the truck and into the yard they seemed a little shell shocked. Three weeks in a shed with everything laid on, thousands of people admiring them and two performances daily about being sheep, has left them a little star struck and I'm sure we will find them annoying until they settle back into being ordinary sheep.
It is amazing to think that between 30,000 and 60,000 people went through the Food Farm each day of the Show and many of them had never been close to a farm animal. Millie and Candy are popular with everyone (except the people who could hear Millie bleating at night) as they are so friendly and able to be patted. I guess you can go to the zoo to see exotic animals but if you never go into the country there is not much opportunity to see a farm animal close up.
