Sheep are different than other animals. God knew that and that is why he use the sheep as an illustration of human beings. "All we like sheep have gone astray."

Sheep are helpless, defenseless. They are stupid about direction, what to eat, where to eat. They can't cross a turbulent stream to get to good pasture. They get sick easily and need constant care.

Sheep need flocks, not cages, hutches, pens, stalls, or tanks. The flock helps to keep the sheep safe, comfortable, warm, fed, and gives a feeling of belonging. Sheep like to be together.

There are 35 different breeds of sheep in the United States. There are 27 different kinds of Sheep in Iran. There are 914 different breeds of sheep in the world.

Different breeds of sheep grow varying types of wool, require different kinds of pasture.
