SHEEP

Sheep photo

A variety of sheep and numerous goats are housed in the Bear Creek Pioneers Park Wildlife Exhibit.  The Suffolk sheep have black legs and faces. This is the type of sheep commonly found in 4-H and FFA projects. There are also domestic goats housed in the sheep and goat exhibit.

Most goats are naturally horned, but many sheep breeds are polled (naturally hornless). Sheep are grazers, goats are browsers. That means sheep are probably better weed eaters, since they eat grasses and other plants all the way down to the ground. Goats, on the other hand, nibble here and there, sampling a variety of bushes and leaves.
