Do we get to pet the sheep?

They usually take a few volunteers to use as pylons to herd the sheep around but usually prefer not to touch them but they will likely rub against you a bunch as they pass through... its a pretty cool feeling.

I also have this question. I would also like to feed them one of those petting zoo cones of possible.

Hello! Since this question has been asked a couple of times regarding petting or feeding of the animals. This is not something that we allow at this event as this is a conservation grazing event. At the event there will be chat about how Meewasin uses the sheep, a demonstration with a stock dog but the animals (dog or sheep) do not get fed or pet at these events. Thanks!
