So when I fed him yesterday, it wasn't too surprising to turn around and see he had a wire tomato cage stuck on his head. It didn't appear to bother him much, though. I had to insist he stop eating in order to pull it off him, and as soon as I freed him, he went right back to the hay.
What do you call a sheep who gets his head stuck in a tomato cage?
Mine.

He's a gorgeous boy. I'm jealous that you get to spin all of that lovely wool when it is sheared. He is a lovely gray-black!
Ha! What did the tomato plant look like? : )
I noticed that you are interested in dye plants. On Mother's Day I made my daughter come with me to the park next door and pick dandelion flowers so that I could dye up a batch of wool. She had to do it because it was Mother's Day : ) The wool came out a lovely yellow.
Scout has plenty of wool to share, so if you'd like to buy any after he's sheared, let me know. I wouldn't be surprised if I get 20 lbs. of fleece off him!
Luckily there weren't any tomato plants yet. I had collected the cages but hadn't bought any plants because the weather had turned cold again.
I've dyed with dandelions, too, and, I admit, I recruited friends to help pick them. It takes a long time to gather enough for a dye bath.
