Well, when it comes to talking sheep I thought my were just weird. For the
most part ours only call out to their young lambs. But when it comes to my
bottle babies, the ones who stay really tame. They are something else! I can
call out to them and they will call back and generally start coming toward
me. Or if they see me out and about and they think I have grain they will
call out and come to the nearest fence and keep calling until I answer or
leave where they can no longer see me. All of this may be because when I go
out into the feild with them I talk to them constantly to they know me and
are not afraid. They can always tell when someone new is around even if I am
out and talk but they don't walk away quite so far. Just a thought about why
they seem to be so vocal. If anyone is looking for a ram I have several that
I am going to be selling. Nancy>

I have the weirdest question to ask the group. Do your sheep BAA? Mine
never do, in fact some of them have never made any sounds at all. This
morning one of them actually Baa-d and it stopped me in my tracks. I'm
standing there waiting to here it again and of course it's quiet and they
are all just staring at me.
Anyway it just got me to wondering........

Hahahahahaha! Why yes, they do, Dayna. As a matter of fact, they have
many
different voices.
We had one years ago that I miss very much. Her name was Hootie, not sure
why, but that's what
she was called. She had the sweetest, most melodious little baa I had
ever
heard. Didn't sound real it was so sweet. She sounded like one of those
stuffed dolls that you turn over on its tummy and when you turned it back
over on its back it said, "Maa-maa." When we heard that sound we
always knew it was Hootie. It gave us a sense of well being like the town
crier hollering the hour and following with "All's Well".
I wouldn't worry about yours not saying much. They must be pretty content
to be that quiet.
