sheep roll over cattle grid.

[grahoom]

last night hedgehog told us when we met up in brighton that there had been reports of sheep rolling over cattle grids to get at villagers flowers in their gardens etc.

i couldn't quite believe it - googled it - and here is the report on the bbc web-site.

Maybe it wasnt the meek who shall inherit the earth could have been a typo.

When i worked for the county council i went to a few sheep related jobs. On the work sheet ,sheep that rolled over cattlegrids,were known as educated sheep
PS I do live in Wales where men are men and sheep are nervous

Muntjac deer have also been observed doing this

Which rolled first, the Muntjac or the Sheep? lol

Do you think the Muntjac trained the Sheep or visaversa? lol

You not seen those vietnam films, wait till the muntjac teach sheep to make panji traps!

I have watched sheep actually walk across a cattle grid There were a group of well motivated sheep at Eyebrook Reservoir that learned to tip-toe across the flat rail type grid. LOL very educated sheep...and not a muntjac in sight.

I do believe I've underestimated Sheepies.
A pleasure to be proved wrong
