A cool story about sheep
Have you ever heard of sheep therapy? I haven't, but a Somerset woman named Carla McLeod Bunter is offering sheep therapy to help "relieve stress" and "relax". Her family bought some rare Valais Blacknose sheep in 2020, and when the family held a taster therapy session at their Somerset home last year, Mrs McLeod Bunter realised these farm animals could help people mentally. Those who attend were able to walk around and snuggle with the animals.
