19 July 2019 – Today, I discovered another sheep on Goodfellow in front of the 316 TRS.  I wonder if they took the previous sheep and repainted it.

2011 – YMCA at corner of W Concho Ave and S. Koenigheim Street (Bryant Blvd [US87]) Concho Ave is at right of photograph.  Bryant Blvd (heading north) is in background beside the YMCA.  Note that in the middle black oval there are two sheep (underlined).  The two silver cars sort of make it very hard to see it.

14 August 2018 – I stopped to get better photos and noticed that this sheep has been defaced like so many in town.  A year or so ago, there were person(s) that affixed pink Cancer ribbons on various sheep.  When it was time to remove the ribbons, it damaged the sheep.  The one outside Goodfellow was defaced also.  But, it looks like someone tried to paint over where the ribbon had ruined the design. 2011 – Fourth of four sheep (A S “Ewe”) located by YMCA; this one is closer to S. Koenigheim Street (Bryant Blvd [US87]).2012 – (Photograph above) The YMCA building was extended almost to the street.  So, the two previous photographs of the same A S “Ewe” sheep was removed.

March 2011 – Can you find the tourist sheep?   If not, check out the photograph on the right. However, I went back in December 2012 and this sheep has been removed.  I will have to try and track it down to get its new location. August 2013 – UPDATE:  I discovered that the orginal Welcoming Ewe (tourist) got repainted and is now the newer sheep at this same location (please see later photographs below).  How sad!
Welcoming “Ewe” is dressed as a tourist.  Located on the shore of Concho River by the Visitor Center.
July 2013 – I “discovered” yesterday that there was a newer sheep replaced the Welcoming “Ewe” tourist sheep by the Visitor Center.
It looks like someone spilled a redish colored drink on the sheep.  Until we get some rain, that spill will stay there.
I placed the camera almost to the ground so I could let a different angle of the design.  This artist is very talented.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but GAFB does not seem to be mentioned on this sheep.  (But, I guess, Fort Concho could represent all military.)
