I visited last month & ALL of the animals had access to food, clean water & were well groomed - then I seen the sheep. Poor things were extremely matted, with fur in literal dreadlocks which is extremely painful!! It’s a shame the sheep aren’t being groomed properly! Hopefully they start giving the sheep a bit more care!

EDIT; Someone from the farm park reached out and clarified a couple things - they have two different breeds of sheep, St. Croix sheep and Hampshire sheep. It’s normal for the St. Croix sheep to appear a bit matted during shedding season, I was likely seeing the natural...
