Sheep

Well sheep and goats, they are always together. I'm just back from a walk around our area and these were at the bottom of the road. The sheep are moved around from place to place clearing fields and campo areas, very quick work they make of it too. They fascinate me because they always seem to go where they are supposed to, never seem to stray, wait at roadsides when crossing roads until at some signal they are told to go. The dogs amaze me even more, they just do what they are supposed to do mostly without any signals or whistling.

Re: Sheep

It was an unusually large number of animals, there were literally hundreds of them. It was interesting to see that one of the lambs was suckling from a goat. It just seems so weird that the sheep and goats always go where they are supposed to and don't just wander off.
