Got mobbed by a flock this afternoon. All I did was stand at the gate of a field and they stampeded!

They must have thought I was their food delivery service. :laughs:

Almost 5000 sheep at the auction today. Described as 'organised chaos' by one of the yard staff. It didn't look organised to me! :grin:

I didn't want people to think I'm obsessed with sheep!

Here's some from yesterday.

Gimmers arrived at their new home.

A gimmer is a female lamb that is being kept for breeding, rather than going to slaughter, a gimmer typically gets called a ewe after its first shearing.

Those sheep were behaving as sheep do. They couldn't see anywhere to go before they got to the spot where they left the track. And they never run when they can walk!

They do have a habit of getting their heads stuck in buckets though...
