Keeping Sheep!
This is the “Heidschnucke”. They are famous for their curled-in horns. Like this one here.
Here we have a “Kärntner Brillenschaf”. They are known for the dark fur around their eyes, which looks like glasses.
Over here we have a “Tiroler Bergschaf”. These are most likely NORMAL sheep. They live in the mountains.
Last but not least here is a “Ungarisches Zackelschaf”. Which is famous for his twisted horns and long wool.
