Photos and thoughts: Sheep
Description
A few weeks ago I visited a farm and saw some nice sheep. In the past I often confused sheep with goats, but now the difference is clear to me..
The sheep
It has a robust body and is covered with thick wool that is sheared regularly. The sheep is a gregarious animal, it tends to follow the group and is generally shy and not very independent.
The sheep prefers flat or hilly pastures.
The goat
Compared to the sheep, the goat is more curious, independent and enterprising. The sheep likes to explore and climb, they are considered excellent climbers.
The goat usually lives in mountain environments and can find food even in inaccessible areas.
Let's now go back to the very nice sheep you see in the photo.
These sheep provide the farm with various things. Here below are the two main things that the farm managers get from their sheep.
Wool
The sheep is in fact famous for its wool, a natural fiber obtained by shearing the fleece. Fleece is the name given to the coat of animals that produce wool.
Milk
The sheep you see in the photo are also raised to produce milk. Sheep's milk is used to make cheeses, Roquefort and ricotta. The most famous cheese made from goat's milk is pecorino.
Thoughts
When observing these sheep I thought about how modern society has distanced itself from that of our grandparents. Our grandparents may have had a less comfortable life, but they lived more in contact with nature and ate healthy food. Our grandparents respected nature. We must rediscover these values.
Question
Have you ever seen a sheep farm?

Scatti fotografici e pensieri: Le pecore
Descrizione
Qualche settimana fa ho fatto visita ad un agriturismo ed ho visto alcune simpatiche pecore. Spesso in passato ho confuso le pecore con le capre, ma ora la differenza mi è chiara..
La pecora
Ha un corpo robusto e ricoperto da una folta lana che viene tosata regolarmente. La pecora è un animale gregario, tende a seguire il gruppo è generalmente timido e poco indipendente.
La pecora preferisce pascoli pianeggianti o collinari.
La capra
La capra rispetto alla pecora è più curiosa, indipendente e intraprendente. Alla pecora piace esplorare e arrampicarsi, vengono ritenute delle ottime scalatrici.
La capra solitamente vive in ambienti montani e può trovare cibo anche in zone impervie.
Torniamo ora alle simpaticissime pecore che vedete in foto.
Queste pecore forniscono all’agriturismo diverse cose. Ecco qui di seguito le due cose principali che i gestori dell’agriturismo ricavano dalle loro pecore.
Lana
La pecora è infatti famosa per la sua lana, una fibra naturale ottenuta dalla tosatura del vello. Il vello è il nome con cui si identifica il mantello degli animali che producono lana.
Latte
Le pecore che vedete in foto sono allevate per produrre anche latte. Il latte delle pecore viene utilizzato per la produzione di formaggi, il roquefort e la ricotta. Il formaggio più celebre ricavato dal latte di capra è il pecorino.
Pensieri
Nell’osservare queste pecore ho pensato a come la società moderna si è allontanata da quella dei nostri nonni. I nostri nonni avevano forse una vita meno comoda, ma vivevano più a contatto con la natura e si nutrivano con cibo sano. I nostri nonni avevano rispetto della natura. Noi dobbiamo riscoprire questi valori.
Domanda
Avete mai visto un allevamento di pecore?

La tecnologia ha cambiato molti aspetti della nostra vita, ricordo che quando mio nonno mi guardava capivo cosa dovevo fare, ormai quasi tutti i contatti sono tramite cellulare, e il cibo, meglio non parlare, quello cosiddetto biologico è più cari
Concordo, su certi aspetti della vita abbiamo preso una brutta piega, ma secondo me aggiusteremo le cose. Ad esempio, alcuni prodotti, io, inizio ad acquistarli direttamente dall’agricoltore senza passare dal supermercato. !PIZZA

Your post brings back such a lovely sense of nostalgia! 🐑 It’s amazing how animals like sheep connect us to traditions and a simpler way of life. I have visited a sheep farm once, and it was fascinating to see the process of shearing and learn about the role they play in producing both wool and milk.
Your reflection about our grandparents’ connection to nature is so true—there’s so much wisdom in those values. Thank you for sharing this beautiful perspective and those adorable sheep!
