Golden Grove Farm
Happy, Healthy, Heritage Sheep
Golden Grove Farm's
TOUPEY (registered)
(OWF Penelope x OWF Thor)
**Toupey got skinnier and skinnier and was unable to hold weight, despite eating well. After a happy summer with the flock, I put her down before winter came. I decided to have a necropsy done and it was lung cancer, so it was the right call.
Prior to her passing:
Toupey is Penelope's daughter and was 2 months old when we purchased the sheep in 2010. She is now retired but is one of the high ranking females in the flock and was a great mom herself. Her previous owner named her Princess Toupée when she was born because of the large white spot on top of her head; we thought about other names, but that one stuck in abbreviated form.
