The sheep numbers in New Zealand are apparently dropping fast. In the '80s there were around 70 million of the woolie little critters, now there is only about 34 million.
Thirty four million is still a WHOLE lots of sheep....after a week and a bit in the country I think I go into withdrawal if I go for 10 minutes without seeing one of them now.
There are white sheep (LOTS of white sheep)...
Sheep with horns...
Sheep with bad hairdos...
Everywhere sheep (trust me, there are sheep in this picture)
And this guy was too cute not to include twice!!!
Of the 34 million sheep in New Zealand - I think I've seen at least 20 million of them!!!

Was there in the mid 80's for 3 weeks in October & there WERE sheep everywhere !! Maybe all the babies haven't been born yet, stay a bit longer & see a few more... Can't wait to see what comes home in the cargo for Bet..
Love all of them!
You are one lucky woman getting to see all those beautuful/cute sheep!

My Brother who lives in NZ calls them "hill maggots" because since there's so many of them from a distance that's what they look like! lol
