Hello, I asked another sheep question, but here is another one. I want a cute sheep, but I want one with a good disposition too. What kind do you think would be the best for me.
Oh, also I would be showing it in the fair, and keeping mainly for a pet.

I have a pen and horses and everything. I think sheep are cuter than the box of rocks goat I have. So please stop saying get a goat, I have one and don't like it.

I think I already answered one of your questions earlier... so I hope I don't seem redundant, but this site is the best one I've found for sheep breeds

As far as I've heard, bottle-fed lambs make the best pets regardless of the breed. Most breeds are virtually the same in temperment so I think it will come down to which appearance you prefer.
You might want a sheep without horns however, and I thought you said you might be getting a wether, so that would make a good pet and so would an ewe.

Somebody mentioned miniature sheep and those are quite cute too. Although you may have a harder time finding them.
I don't know where you live but here's a few links to get you started (some places ship as well)

If you want to show a sheep, I suggest getting it from a good breeder though, so that you know you have quality.

I don't hear of many sheep with bad dispositions though, so whatever choice you make should be fine as long as you spend time with you sheep.

Best of luck

get a goat. i have one and shes great. she is like a dog with hooves. she loves attention but she can be left in her pen all day. very easy to care for. but if u get a goat or sheep make sure they have a pen. my goat climbes on the car when she get out of her pen. both need a companion.

Forget sheep, get a goat- they are so easy to take care of. Basically you just feed them and they thrive. My husband suggests you try a suffix sheep, that's what he had as a kid. Good luck.

I'm sure you have lots of grass for it to eat. Find out what's best for you. I don't know much about sheep or what different kinds there are.
