I’m guessing the sheep shouldn’t be in that particular field

All legit. They're fenced in to graze off the remains of the crop. And while they're at it they're fertilizing the ground.

Not really. I got interested in the history, heritage and cultural aspects of sheep farming/breeding a few years ago.

I've been to a sheep dog trial today.* They're as obsessed with trials as some pikers are with pike. They're planning a nine trials in nine days marathon!!

* The first War of the Roses trial. The Red Rose team won.

Shearing is hard on the back I believe.

It sure is, and I used to clip mine (Suffolks and Mules ) just with Hand Shears, very satisfying work but as you said Dave, kind of hard on the back, its a job for young guys with strong backs.
I don't keep sheep any more, stupid bloody things

They're not stupid. Their brains are just wired differently.
