Bettis was a wild one when he came here but within two weeks, he decided we weren't such bad people! He loves to be scratched and treats but we ended up naming him after Jerome Bettis of the Pittsburgh Steelers because if he gets nervous, that head goes down and look out! He has never tried to use his horns on us but we are careful with him anyway! He is a very sweet Icelandic/Merino cross boy!  His fleece is a blend of the soft Merino and guard hair from the Icelandic, soft, locks of 4+ inches and usually is a very clean fellow.

Over time Bettis is losing his sight and what is amazing is how he adapts. We worry about him being left behind by the sheep so we moved him into Keebler's little group of special needs sheep.

His new best friend is Trillium, our little three legged Jacob sheep. He follows her from place to place in their pasture and she keeps a good eye on him. Even waits for him if he gets a little lost or takes a wrong turn here and there. Animals are amazing!
