the sheep on the right, with the black head (and also has black feet) is the only sheep on the grounds that was in the films! (really!) His name is Stunt Sheep. Apparently, Peter Jackson felt like the native sheep that were on the farm were too "modern" for the Shire, so they brought in this other breed of sheep that had a more classic look. I guess the rest of the Stunt Sheep were returned to where ever they were brought in from. Not sure why this guy was left behind, but he seems to be very happy.
We splurged and had a private tour of Hobbiton, versus the regular tours. The regular tours have 41 guests with one guide, and they come in much larger buses. All of those buses are named after the dwarves. There is one larger bus that holds 44 guests. That bus is named Gandalf the White (although when it comes back dirty at the end of the day, it's name changes to Gandalf the Grey"). Our smaller shuttle bus was named Legolas! :)
