Sheep X-ing


Paul and Carol's Coopworth sheep going home to be shorn and then have their lambs after spending a winter on pasture (eating hay.) The line of sheep was about 3/4 mile long. They follow the tractor as it means food to them.

  1. That's pretty amazing! I couldn't get away with that on our highway, we'd have sheep pancakes everywhere.

  2. Too cool! When we were young the sheep herds that lived in the mountains all summer would come down and cross the roads as the cars all waited for them to cross. How I miss the good ol' days.

  3. POOR CAROL IS FORCED TO WALK!! I'd suggest PAUL walk next time! That's totally not fair!

    They all look very robust. I can't imagine having to change hundreds of coats. yowza!

  4. Well, our road is busier than Paul and Carol's, so we can't try that! And I think I would have been a nervous wreck, herding them down the road AND around a corner!
