Video: Did You Know Sheep Can Smile?!

Can sheep actually smile? You’ll have to see it to believe it! In today’s vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we captured one of our Suffolk rams flashing the biggest grin — and it’s not the only reason everyone is smiling. From harvesting our barley (and getting a surprisingly decent yield despite the drought) to seeing our alfalfa protected and thriving, it feels like everything lined up for once. Add in cooler weather, happy sheep, and even some silly ram courting rituals, and you’ve got a farm day full of joy, laughter, and a little bit of surprise. ??
