In this episode of Voices in Wool, we hear from nine shepherds and one daughter of a shepherd about their favorite sheep.

Stories run the gamut from a lamb who appeared off Broadway to an escape artist who likes to brag about it. We had the matriarch of the flock who enjoys a nightly stay in the barn Airbnb, and a patriarch who does a joyful jig every time food is brought near. One lamb even trained herself to use a makeshift litterbox.

These stories don't just show how remarkable and clever and fun sheep can be. They also reveal a lot about the people who live with them—about what kind of person dedicates his or her life to making sure that sheep have good lives too.

They provide irrefutable evidence that life is better when you share it with a sheep.
