Springwood Sanctuary

Ted

​

Ted is a beautiful texel cross wether sheep. A wether is a neutered male sheep. Ted lived with his brother Bill all of his life from a lamb. Luckily for them they were rescued by Donna, otherwise they would have been sent to an abattoir at a young age and sold as meat. It's hard not to be angry at the system that normalises this when connecting with these beautiful souls who are so badly exploited and end their lives in so much fear.

 

Bill and Ted both kept Bertie company when he lost his horse companion several years ago. . The three of them came to live at Springwood in October 2022. Bertie and Bill have very sadly both recently passed over. We were very worried how Ted would cope as he's always had Bill by his side, but true to form Thomas donkey has taken him under his wing and so therefore did the rest of the Mysties. He is so much more confident and active these days, hanging out with the Mysties, enjoying head rubs from David and Jacqu, eating hay with his new gang and keeping up with them when they explore the land. 

So lovely to see dear Ted really embracing this new stage of his life.
