Mark Soper and I (and our wonderful sheepdogs) perform the Working Sheepdog Demonstrations at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival each year, and we use yearling Bluefaced Leicester ewes from my flock in the demos. These young BFLs are probably the classiest “demo sheep” around, and they certainly catch the attention of the festival crowds. People love the regal look of the BFLs, and their flowing fleeces are a big part of their appeal.
