2015-04-16 Heidschnucken with lambs

Next to the colourful tulip field, the Heidschnucken, a sheep breed not so often seen hereabouts, have lambs. They are about the size of a cat, so tiny they are.
Oh my how cute ... These are very interesting looking sheep. What a lovely scene.

Thanks for your kind comments, on this special sheeps, which belong to the nordic short tail sheeps.

@lesip Yes, they are cute indeed.
@sgianettoni If they are not shared in a short time, all of theme will lose the winter wool and will look kind of "interesting". Every day a "bad hair day", then.
@maggiemae I did some research on the name. It is an old German word, from the northern part of Germany (Lüneburger Heide/Luneburg Heath), where this breed comes from. "Heid" is for heath/moor and "schnucke" derives from to snivvel/to sobb and to baa.
@francoise Yes, there is another tiny one, hiding in the not so high grass.

Interesting! I tried a translation and it just came to the same word!
