At SVTFarm, Emmanuel is the most powerful sheep.
Strong and statured, he demands attention simply by existing.
Emmanuel has three main connections:
his food, his flock, and his people.
I know he wants to stay with the group
and have a place at the table.
Emmanuel wants connection
Emmanuel likes to have his face scratched.
Don't rub or scratch the front of a ram’s head.
They use it for ramming!
I feel unsettled when Emmanuel comes right up to me,
so I pay attention.
Emmanuel connects with me and tells me he’s glad to be seen.
I scratch the side of his face.
I like to smooth his Lincoln beard with my fingers.
Eliminating “should”….because things go as they “do.”
Clearly, the Shepherd is not always in control.
Stevie knows when I’ve lost it!
Stevie helps me bring the last loose sheep in.
