Collectors young and old agree these are keepsakes for a lifetime! Domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are quadrupedal, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Although the name "sheep" applies to many species, in everyday usage it almost always refers to Ovis aries. Numbering a little over 1 billion, domestic sheep are the most numerous species in their genus.      Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleece, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing. Ovine meat is called lamb when from younger animals and mutton when from older ones. Sheep continue to be important for wool and meat today, and are also occasionally raised for pelts, as dairy animals, or as model organisms for science.      Sheep husbandry is practised throughout the majority of the inhabited world, and has been fundamental to many civilizations. In the modern era, Australia, New Zealand, the southern and central South American nations, and the British Isles are most closely associated with sheep production.      Sheep-raising has a large lexicon of unique terms which vary considerably by region and dialect. Use of the word sheep began in Middle English as a derivation of the Old English word sceap; it is both the singular and plural name for the animal. A group of sheep is called a flock, herd or mob. Adult female sheep are referred to as ewes, intact males as rams or occasionally tups, castrated males as wethers, and younger sheep as lambs. Many other specific terms for the various life stages of sheep exist, generally related to lambing, shearing, and age.      Being a key animal in the history of farming, sheep have a deeply entrenched place in human culture, and find representation in much modern language and symbology. As livestock, sheep are most-often associated with pastoral, Arcadian imagery. Sheep figure in many mythologies—such as the Golden Fleece—and major religions, especially the Abrahamic traditions. In both ancient and modern religious ritual, sheep are used as sacrificial animals. About Kosen Since 1958, something special has been produced in Bad Kosen, a little spa town on the Saale river in Germany. Lovingly created stuffed animals are known for their highly naturalistic and expressive design, by their immediate appeal as toys and by their top quality of material and craftsmanship employed.  Each design is based on intensive studies of the anatomy and movements of the animal depicted.  The designers at Kosen draw the animals in their natural habitats or in zoos and create them as three-dimensional models from clay.  The toy animals are always presented in the typical and natural position. Important details are lovingly executed, and especially the faces receive a very lifelike expression.  In order to achieve this, the artists use varied material, and only the best quality fake fur will be employed.  The animals are put together from up to seventy individual elements.  They are sewn together, turned inside out, filled with high quality fibres, stitched closed, combed and brushed, embroidered and painted - all by hand and exclusively at Bad Kosen. The Schache family is committed to ensuring that this tradition lives on in Germany. A cuddly toy animal from Kosen is a valuable present for children and for adults who love nature and wildlife.
