I'm the King of the Castle ... by farmreporter

I'm the King of the Castle ...

and you're the dirty rascal!
That is what we would chant in a game we used to play as children.
The idea was to try to keep control of the top of the snow bank as others would try to push you off.
This girl likes to be on top of the hay bale to eat while the other sheep mind their manners and eat from below.
For the six word challenge that ends today.
She does look like she is in control. Great title.

I never paid attention to the heads of sheep apparently because I never realized they had such different faces. I like this. And the title is perfect.

@randystreat
Some breeds have more individual faces than others. These are Rideau Arcotts, and they come out very individualized. As a matter of fact, Hubby recognizes each and every one of them by their markings and personality. I am not that good.

@farmreporter Thanks for the information. I'm not very versed in the different breeds of sheep. I believe you and your husband raise them, correct? For meat? Do you collect fleeces for fiber?

@randystreat
We actually do not have any of our own sheep at the moment (decided to take a year off to concentrate on other farm work like the barn, etc)
We are keeping these sheep at our place for a neighbour when his barn blew down. They are leaving this week since we told him we did not want to look after them during the winter and deal with barn cleaning and such).
These are meat sheep.

You have that right! There is always one who is a trouble-maker, lol!

Her fixed gaze takes no prisoners! 6 word response!

We used to play that game! This shot really made me smile. I see you have snow already.

There is always one..........great capture.

Hi Wendy, I’m your get-pushed partner for the coming week, I’ve read that you drive a bus full of children. For your challenge would you make an interesting photo of the bus and it’s precious load?
November 11th, 2018  
Wonderful

@jacqbb
Would love to but, unfortunately - here in Canada it is illegal to photograph minors. I always wanted to take a pic of them all to give as a gift to them but was never allowed.
Would you be able to issue another challenge?
November 11th, 2018  
@farmreporter Ok! The same bus in an interesting place, Is that possible? Or the bus in photoshop- mode with little sheepheads behind the windows, or dogs, cats........ Think childrensbook illustration....
If you think that’s impossible i think of something else, please let me know.

@jacqbb
I have always wanted to experiment with composites and such. Will definitely give it a go - how about a flying school bus?
This bus just may go on lots of adventures!
Thank you for your challenge. Will issue yours this evening.
November 11th, 2018  
I love this!
November 12th, 2018  
Thanks for answering all my questions Wendy.
November 12th, 2018  
No doubting who's in charge!
November 12th, 2018  
Great photo and title.
