I was allowed to visit and photograph some Cheviot sheep last week at the Desert Wind Ranch. Marlo and Bob Schuh were very kind to let me do so. I had a great time.
The Cheviots are a good bit smaller than most breeds.
These little guys were very curious about my being there, and were tame enough to let me get close. They were carrying a lot of wool... lots and LOTS of wool! They will be getting a good shearing when the nights warm-up a bit.
It was too cloudy a day for good resource photos for a painting, though. I hope to find the photos helpful, nonetheless.
