In early Spring we received a call from the local ranger, reporting the impounding of four ewes.
These ladies had roamed bush land
in the Perth Hills for many months, despite ongoing efforts to catch
them. They proved a challenge for authorities, clearing high fences and
showing great agility in rough terrain.
All four ewes are Damaras, a self
shedding sheep breed originating in Namibia. They are renowned for their
goat like abilities to jump and run, which no doubt led to their freedom.
Since their arrival, the four have settled in to Sanctuary life
well. They will now hand feed and even have a scratch on the head if offered treats.
