Sheep

Sammie

Rescue-versary: July 23, 2017

Found high in the mountains, alone and very young, by a woman who snowshoed the area and returned daily to feed her through the winter, before she was brought down to her new forever home.

Personality: Very observant. Enjoys hanging out with Martin and acting as the mother figure for the other sheep.

What sponsoring Sammie supports

Estimated monthly cost of care, based on typical Park City, Utah-area pricing for feed, bedding, and veterinary care. Costs are shared across the herd or flock, so figures below are per-animal averages, not itemized invoices.

Grass hay~$15/mo

Straw bedding~$15/mo

Clean straw bedding in their shelter, especially through Park City's snowy winters.

Minerals & treats~$10/mo

Sheep-safe mineral supplements (no copper, which is toxic to sheep) and the occasional treat.

Water~$5/mo

A steady supply of clean water, year-round.

Veterinary, hoof & shearing care~$25/mo

Routine exams, vaccinations, regular hoof trims, and shearing so they stay comfortable in summer.

Pasture & shelter upkeep~$15/mo

Fencing and shelter maintenance, shared across the flock.

Estimated total cost of care~$85/month
