Farmer John recently delivered a new black ewe to join my flock of coloured sheep at Struan Farm:
She has been christened "Licorice" by the girls, and joins Sooty and Oreo. (Note: we only name the black sheep, not the rest of the mob.) Although she doesn't seem to associate with Sooty and Oreo, not sure why!
The deal with Farmer John is a bit of genetic roulette: if they have black lambs they're mine, white lambs they're his. The odds are definitely in his favour!
