Faroese sheep are - different. In any case, not like other sheep. They do not live in large herds, but in smaller groups. They are intrepid climbers, free from giddiness, grazing in the craziest places. Their main concern is that the grasses and herbs they are offered taste good. They are a type of Nordic short-tailed sheep, have phenomenal wool, which contains enormous amounts of lanolin, and are, it can be said, individualists. Some graze on rooftops. Others are crazy about algae. For the vitamins and minerals. Like these sheep here. Watching them is always a pleasure to me. Their slender legs skilfully carry them over the stones and boulders in our bay. Great animals, great moments. Animal observations that I write about in my book “Meine wilden Inseln” in detail. Because such great things always happen with these sheep. Naturally, I also tried the algae. I needed to know what the taste was like. The result of the appetizer spoon test: I for my part like sugar kelp the best.
