At first I thought sheep, but they seem a little leggy for sheep. The last photo definitely says goat to me. Guess it doesn’t matter….that little youngster in the second photo is a darling!
Thanks Lynda. One thing I do like about the Eastern part of Germany is their animals are very important to them. The farm animals are well cared for and have lots of interaction with people…they are well socialized. 🙂
I found out from an animal expert that these are Barbados Blackbelly shee. From Wikipedia: It is a breed of domestic sheep that was developed in the Caribbean. Although it is likely the Barbados Blackbelly has African ancestry, there seems to be clear evidence that the breed, as seen today, was developed by the people on the islands from sheep brought by ships fairly early in the period after Europeans first arrived. This breed is raised primarily for meat.
