I’ve just learned of a whole new act of genocide against the Navajo people during the Great Depression from this book I’m reading, “A Short History of the World According To Sheep”.
Around half a century after the majority of the Navajo had originally been forced off their land, with millions dying in a forced trek known as “the Long Walk”, and then *finally* allowed to return, the US Government basically declared “they were keeping too many sheep on their land” (which they were *not*; the Navajo bred a stunning variant of the churro sheep breed despite mass slaughter of their animals at the time of the original 19th century genocidal acts, and their husbandry of the land and their animals was reportedly superb, despite it being pretty arid even then) and, despite ongoing legal challenges, enacted a mass slaughter of these churro herds that had been revived with such love, not to mention 10,000 horses.
This destroyed the economy in the area, left the people on the brink of starvation, and broke the hearts of the Navajo.
The Navajo churro breed of sheep was on the edge of extinction until the 1970s. There are apparently still giant heaps of sheep and horse bones lying in ravines where these poor creatures were slaughtered by federal agents. The Navajo still sing mourning songs about it and all the human deaths that followed.
I’ve never even heard of this before. Not even a whisper of it.
The pointless brutality of doing that during a global economic disaster seems cartoonishly evil. And yet, of course, we know that the cruelty was the *point*.
There have been so many acts of genocide against indigenous Americans that something like this as recently as the 1920s can literally disappear. And now, of course, they are threatened just as fatally, if less directly, by climate change threatening to make the Navajo lands uninhabitable.
I cant help drawing comparisons with the IDF burning Palestinian olive groves. Wanton, pointless destruction of the living beings a culture reveres, nurtures, husbands and depends on is not one of the better-known acts of genocide, but it is both materially and spiritually a very real one.

The Navajo-Churro, also known as the Churro, American, or Navajo Four-Horned is a breed of domestic sheep originating with the Spanish Churra sheep obtained by the Diné Navajo tribe around the 16th century AD. Over the following centuries the Navajo bred the sheep to adapt to a pastoral lifestyle in the harsh deserts and badlands of the american south west. Creating a hearty and disease resistant breed which is well known for its fine wool and lean but delicious meat. The churro became a vital part of Navajo subsistence and culture. When the US military forced the entire Navajo nation to march to a reservation in 1864, they also culled the vast majority of the nation’s livestock including thousands upon thousands of churro sheep. A few herd managed to survive either by being taken with the tribe or fled to remote canyons where they became feral. As part of the Treaty of Bosque Redondo in 1868, the Navajo where allowed to return to there homeland, in addition they were given large quantities of livestock to replace what was slaughtered, which included many western varieties of sheep. Unfortunately these interbreed with the few remaining churro populations and overall contaminated the line. Then in the 1930s the the US government implemented the Navajo Livestock Reduction act in which they again slaughtered a large amount of the Navajo Nation’s livestock, including tens of thousands of sheep. It is estimated at this point only 450 navajo churro sheep remained. In the 1970s The Navajo Sheep Project was launched in an effort to preserve the breed and revitalize Navajo and Hispanic sheep farming. This was somewhat successful and today over 8,000 Navajo Churro Sheep exist. With females reaching around 90 to 130lbs (40 to 60kgs) and males reaching roughly 120 to 185lbs (55 to 85kgs) in weight, the Navajo churro is a smaller sheep with long, thin tails, horizontal ears, narrow bodies, long legs, and a double coat. Most rams have horns, either two or four, but may occasionally have none. Additionally while ewes typically lack horns, females with horns are not uncommon. Churros come in a variety of colors, including reds, browns, black, white, and mixes, and color may change with age, and may have come in color patterns, such as eye patches and hip spots. Mothers typically give birth to twins and under ideal conditions a Navajo Churro may live upwards of 15 years.

FANTOCCIO FACTS POST (from screenshots i found in my own interests server)
- His name is italian for puppet, but he pronounces it incorrectly and insists it’s the correct way to say his name if anyone else points it out and says he’s wrong.
- He’s not from Italy, obviously. Goes to show. But Ash imagines he knows a bit of italian. (“Not enough Italian to say his name right.” - Katie.)
- Fantoccio has a pet shark named Sharkspeare! Mentioned in the song at the line “‘Cause Sharkspeare’s looking mean!”
- Fantoccio has to make all his own props, set pieces, clothes, etc in the theatre.
- Would never smoke, and would hate being around it/people who’re doing it actively.
- Fantoccio was made by Ash as a fan OC for the game, and this (as far as I’m aware) is what got them hired onto the game, cause Katie loved their ideas so much.
- Fantoccio is not very good with kids.
- Fantoccio’s favorite food is churros. This came from the fact Ash once had a dream about him infodumping about them cause he loved them so much, so they made it canon.
- Don’t worry, he can indeed taste things normally. No traditional taste buds, but some, nonetheless. Same goes for touch!
- Fantoccio is canonically autistic, having many traits of himself heavily projected from Ash, themself.
- When asked what his meltdown triggers could be, Ash thought that some might be: too much touching, being without his hat, or one of his props breaking.
- Fantoccio likes wearing dresses! Wears them if he feels like it or if the role calls for it, during a play.
- Ash thinks he’d ADORE snow.
- Fantoccio would 100% love spicy italian from subway.
- Fantoccio plays violin!
- Fantoccio would chant “I’m sleeping” when struggling to fall asleep, like his own version of counting sheep.
- He would NEVER say the Earth is flat.
- He’d be the “How do you do that” of that one keysmash meme, if paired with Barnaby.
- Ash once said that Fantoccio is like Duck from Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.
- When doing a personality type test (and actually answering truthfully instead of in character) for Fantoccio, he ended up with ENTJ-T, Commander. Fanto would answer untruthfully on some questions, like if he ever gets insecure (“PFFFT NO THE ANSWERS NO”).
- He can go uwu in the bbu lore, but he’ll hate it. (“THIS IS STUPID!!!”)
- Fantoccio would apparently be a “mac and cheese FIEND.”
- He’d hate pranks (specifically a hand zapper in this case), because they’re unexpected. (“NEVER DO THAT AGAIN”)
- This also means he’d never troll anyone, cause he feels above that.
- Fanto would HATE hearing people crack their knuckles, like Ash does.
- Fantoccio loves to carve wood. Specifically only by hand, that’s how much he loves it! He carved the two giant wooden hands used in his battle, but his favorite thing to carve is ducks.
- Fantoccio is very intent on ONLY eating the few foods he knows he likes.
- If he were an ice cream, he’d be coffee flavor! Which is ironic, because Ash has also said that it’d probably be terrible to give Fantoccio caffeine.
- Fantoccio would LOVE chicken nuggets.
- Hates pizza, though. Too greasy and messy.
- Would enjoy having an ipad “a little too much. He would be super confused at first but once he learns how to use it DO NOT TAKE IT AWAY”. (kinda like Peridot from Steven Universe)
- He would like spruce wood in Minecraft, but also acacia “just to look at.”
- Ash adores pirates, so so does Fantoccio!
- He has no nose, so no sneezes!
- Appreciates detail as much as Barnaby does.
- Fanto would love birds!
- Fanto is not capable of curse words. Sad.
- Fantoccio would COLLAPSE trying to lift someone without his powers.
- He stims by patting his face and spinning around. Fidgets with his hands in concepts for his standing idle animations, because he’s uncomfortable with standing and prefers floating.
- He’d favor Murder Mystery!
- His wood is alive and can grow like a real boy! (if you’ve seen my post being reblogged around, lol)
- He lives in the lost city of magic, which is abandoned and overrun my magical zombies who used to be magic users, now with a terrible curse. So he lives mainly in his theatre. He’s not trapped, anymore, like his old story!
- Fantoccio’s powers are based around telekinesis and teleportation. It’s how he moves his body around!
- He used to have a plush toy rabbit he carried around, when he was younger, seemingly. It’s unclear where that went, when he got older.
- Fantoccio’s been locked up in this city for 15 years, since he was 8. Completely isolated (save for those zombies, I suppose)! When Billie comes along, though, he’s so excited to have something new to play with!
- Fanto’s song is inspired by Weird Al. Like 90% of this game is, of course /lh. He was also inspired by the pied piper!
- He’d dislike the idea of seafood. (“He’d be like “Why would anyone want to eat a fish?!” And cover Sharkspeare’s nonexistent ears like “Don’t listen to them!””)
- The red feather in his hat is also used as a pen!
- Fantoccio is a being of pure magic, having an entire magic gem be his whole life source. This means he can use magic endlessly without getting tired (I believe)!
- Fantoccio is 23, he/him, and pansexual.
- His face is made using magic. It disappears when/if he’s magic-less.
- Fantoccio can absolutely feel pain.
- When it comes to nature, Ash said he’d kinda be like Rarity from MLP:FiM, but certain kinds of nature he’d still really love. He’d really dislike walking through the wild or camping in general, but loves things like snow or flower fields. Just depends!
- Fantoccio would main Bowser in Mario Kart.
-In terms of favorite Halloween treats, Fantoccio would like anything chewy and fruity (no chocolate)!
- Canonically wears eyeliner.
- Magic sparks from his fingertips when he’s very excited!
- If Fantoccio was an animal, Ash says he’d be a cat.
- No traditional gross human stuff inside him like others, just wood and sap. “Whatever trees do.”
- His original concept by Ash was him having a purple phantom head, being a ghost in a puppet’s body. This was changed by Katie, I believe.
(feel free to add on if I missed anything! i’ll edit this post if i randomly remember something)

Their fate is in your hands, prison warden
24 prisoners, each have committed a murder. But when you look into the truth that lies in them, will you forgive them? Or will you condemn them with your verdict?
Are they in the right for what they did? Or are they in the wrong? Your choice affects everything, warden. Judge them with everything you see, hear, and feel.
O, lone sheep, go tear the darkness to pieces, the entire thing
Overview
Project LUXGRAM is a fanmade, MILGRAM-inspired world created by a group of friends. LUXGRAM has a number of 24 diverse prisoners, each with interesting stories and personas, and two prison wardens; a guard and a caretaker. Given interrogations, audio dramas, and videos, you can decide the fate and verdicts of these prisoners; whether they are to be forgiven or unforgiven.
MILGRAM is owned by DECO*27, not us. We do not lay claim over MILGRAM, and only wish to have fun with our own version of it.
If this beautiful night never ends, shall we try counting the numbers?
Meet the Creators
Here is a list of the creators of LUXGRAM. Certain people have not been added to the list to respect their wishes of not being included in the list.
Lux, he/they/she
Churro, he/they
Mei, she/they
Noir, she/her
Lyxella, she/her
What do you want to do after you end up all by yourself?

Peep is a jacob sheep right? Just curious since I recently saw some and her horns look just like that of a jacob sheep
peep is a mix between two different sheep!
Her father is a Navajo-churro sheep
And her mom is a Black Katahdin Sheep!
well I should say that they are based off of these two breeds. In reality if there was an offspring between these two sheep the sheep would probably be black, because dark colors tend to be the dominant allele over the the lighter unless the black sheep is heterozygous, then there’s a small chance that peep would inherit a ressesive lighter color allele from her mom. And also peep shows codominance in her fur color (being white and brown) and that adds another layer of genetic tomfoolery that makes it even less likely that she would look the way she does. ALSO the more than 2 horns trait is caused by a mutation, and is recessive and sex linked, and I don’t know how that would work if peeps mom gave peep the X chromosome that coded for horns (if it was even in her genotype) what would happen there.
so peep is a genetic anomaly, but she also stands on two legs and is in college and can speak so what does it really matter SKJASAGD
ok once again this is a much longer answer than you probably wanted, sorry abt that askjdsfkjfds she was almost going to be a Jacob sheep but I wanted her fur to look like a toasted marshmallow then I found the churro sheep
#Ask#genetics are so cool man#Cddwtd peep#the goop speaks#Can you tell I go to a stem highschool#I love genetics sm

-Bert, if the clerics appear again, you would make another revenge
-Mike, how did you feel when the cow licked your face?
-rex, what would your reaction be if you saw that your shed was full of sheep?
-For Fergus "If he has 3 churros and smokes 7, how many apples are left for Sir Topham Hatt and Mr Percival?"
Sure!
-Probably not, I would hope to ignore them.
-Embarrasing would be an understatement...
-I would probably freak the heck out!

Heyo, a friend linked me your post asking for sheep suggestions. I work pretty much excullusively with wool breeds so I don't have a lot of feedback if you want to stay with haired breeds, but if you're just wanting interesting sheep suggestions, allow me to pitch Navajo-Churro sheep!
Uhhhhh I love them!
A little about them:
Navajo-Churro were developed from the Iberian Churra - the first sheep brought to the Americas by the Conquistadors. These Spanish sheep were traded with the Dine’ (Navajo people) who appreciated the sheep for their meat, milk and wool. The famous Navajo textiles are woven from Navajo-Churro wool. And Navajo-Churro fleece is admired for its luster, durability and amazing variety of natural colors.
The Dine’ live in the Four Corners area of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah and the Navajo-Churro evolved in this arid and unique landscape. Persecution by the US Government decimated their herds several times over the centuries and very few Navajo-Churro sheep survived. Dine’ shepherds cherished their "old style" sheep and were responsible for saving the Navajo-Churro breed from extinction. But by 1977, the sheep had dwindled to less than 500 head so Dr. Lyle McNeal formed the Navajo Sheep Project to revitalize this breed and keep it from further depletion. [source]
Their horns are amazing.
Soay are actually a wool breed, but they roo, so not really a commercial wool product. These are amazing but sadly probably not very suited to the lush, relatively wet midatlantic. Thank you so much for sharing them with me!!

Which Corvid Are You?
Taken by Cube
Result: Jackdaw
The jackdaw is a clever and mischievous bird, a capable scavenger, and a devoted partner. The symbolism of the jackdaw is often associated with shrewdness, intelligence, and mischievousness. Friendly and inquisitive, the jackdaw is the smallest member of the corvid family. It’s a highly intelligent and sociable bird that scavenges for food. This bird is attracted to shiny trinkets, such as jewelry, and as such it is often caricatured in stories as a thief. Jackdaws often ride on the backs of sheep and other mammals, seeking ticks as well as actively gathering wool or hair for nests, and will catch flying ants in flight. Western jackdaws are very skilled flyers and can maneuver tightly as well as tumble and glide. -AZ Animals, Animalia
Yep seems about right... PHILLIP! GO GET SOME JACKDAWS FOR THE GREENHOUSE! THANKS!
