juliepoudrier Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hey they were able to spell both katahdin and dorper! I wonder if they have just one sheep or if they want to get rid of this particular one? Is it near you? I think uwe should go check her out, lol! J.

ejano Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Maybe it's a pet? There is a lady in our county who years ago started with one sheep in an apt. in NYC and now has a flock of several hundred hundred sheep, several outstanding Border Collies, a LGD and an excellent reputation as a shepherdess. As for the spelling --- texting and twitter have ruined the world . As an English teacher, I despair.... .... Liz I about laughed myself silly.

NorthfieldNick Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Reminds me of a news broadcast a few years ago about loose livestock. The reporter pronounced it "eee-weees" (long e's)... nevermind that when they showed the animals they were goats! I saw an ad not long ago for crossbred "yous" I think that's a personal insult.

Ancarrow Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I about laughed myself silly. I'm guessing that it is pronounced Yo (like "no"), like we do here in Highland, VA! Try asking a local here for a "ewe", they will say, "oh, you mean a "yo" and you say "unhun, yes a "yo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Meier Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Many of the retired farmers that we run acrossed around here refer to ewes and Yos too. Took me a bit to make the connection when I first heard the term. A always chuckle when I see the Craigslist ads for Blue Healers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I think, though, that if I were spelling it such that it would be pronounced "yo" that I would probably spell it "yow" or similar. I know old-timers who pronounce it "yo" but as far as I know they still spell it ewe. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 A always chuckle when I see the Craigslist ads for Blue Healers Ha! Maybe they could make medical claims and sell them for more money! I always am surprised to see Boarder collies, which seems to be about as common as healers.... J.

Mona Howard Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well it's funny that this thread has come up because I put some sheep on Craigslist just the other day and one of the people that contacted me pronounced it "yos" instead of ewes also. They were from upper Virginia. They also took one of the rams I had listed. They kept calling him a "buck". This is the first time I had heard it pronounce that way.

juliepoudrier Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Mona, It's definitely a regional thing. Tom Forrester says "yos" and also refers to the rams as bucks. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
