Conkers
We like to encourage our followers on Twitter to name our sheep here at British Sheepskin. Sometimes we like to create a little story to go along with it just for a bit of fun. Here is the story of Conkers from Little Conkers.
There is a well known fact about Conkers, he simply loves to be scratched behind his right ear. And unlike other sheep he makes the strangest little cheerful sound when you get it just right. One sunny Spring day farmer Giles came to visit just happened to be at the same time when Conkers was getting his daily scratch.
In a croaky Cornish accent farmer Giles said, “Thaat’s tha strangist sound I’ve herrd from any sheeeep but how laavely”
What farmer Giles didn't realise was Conkers was a bit of a special little fellow and loved getting some attention. It was of course humorous for the tickler or scratcher depending on your style due to the lovely little sound he made. Now being that Conkers was indeed a special little sheep we decided to take him into the farmhouse and domesticate him. If anyone was upset they could scratch behind his ear, Conkers would make that little noise and all would be made better.
For many years Conkers lived in the farmhouse and for many years he brought lots of joy to the family, he even had his own knitted sweater with his name conkers written on it.
To name one of our sheep and have a story written about him please follow us on Twitter and we at British Sheepskin will do our best to deliver what we promise.
