Phyllis, an Icelandic sheep, escaped from her owner on Sunday the 25th of April and has been spotted in our Trout Brook Valley preserve.
She's very scared and hot because she hasn't been sheared yet. Sheep are gregarious but she really needs our help to get her back home.
There are only about 3000 Icelandics in the US. Phyllis and all her friends are kept for wool production locally at the Bauby farm in Easton.
Icelandic sheep and all sheep in general are docile and very skittish. Most will run at the sight of humans and other animals as they view them as predators. The sheep are fast and will run if they feel threatened.
Here’s how you can help:
1) Download and print a map of TBV and bring it with you.

2) If you spot Phyllis, mark the location on the map. Note her general health condition and any other details.
3) Call her owner, John Bauby, at 203-913-7929
He is very appreciative of any information leading to the safe recovery of a very missed sheep.
