When he arrived in November 2020 Henry was a young sheep absolutely afraid of humans and wouldn’t let anyone near him except the other goats and sheep and especially Adam, the young calf who lived in the barn. Henry immediately took refuge at his side and never left his side, bleating desperately when he lost sight of his friend.

Very quickly Henry learned that the humans around him meant him no harm. With his friend Adam by his side, he let go of his fears and quickly bonded with humans. In fact, Henry is a loving sheep who loves everyone: dogs, hens and roosters, turkeys, cows, goats and sheep and even those chattering geese that screech in his ears when he is just offering them his face to tingle. The hardest moment for Henry was when his best pal Adam joined his family for the summer. Although he could visit him in the field, his relationship changed and it was heartbreaking to see our little sheep calling his friend the calf to join him – which he did from time to time by the way. . Since then, Henry has taken his full place in the barn and has formed strong friendships with the goats and even Jeanne the shy sheep. He loves running errands with Russell and the new goats racing from one side of the sanctuary to the other until they are completely exhausted when they all slump with their tongues out. Henry shares with us privileged moments of love when he comes to snuggle up against us by resting his head against ours. What indescribable happiness!
