I thought this was a joke at first. I would walk by thinking that sheep is happily napping.

Are sheep really this useless? How can you not roll yourself over?

I've seen folks stab a quick hole in cows to let air out. They get bloated and suffocate themselves.

Big Grin I don't open many Shugart sheep threads, but I'm exceedingly nervous when I do Big Grin

That sheep looked like a turtle on its back.

I was on a DOD project in Illinois.

One of the hosts asked a gaggle of National Lab people if they'd care to see his 248 acre farm.

The other Lab folks were all PhDs from LLNL in California, Los Alomos, NM, and Argonne, IL.

We get there are are touring the farm and we come across a pig that managed to wedge itself into a hole. It was s-t-u-c-k. Well our host tried to free the pig by himself, and was not gaining ground when he asked if someone would come into the pen and help him. I asked if he had gloves I could wear. He takes the gloves off his hands, hands them to me, whereupon I realize I might fit a pinky in these size extra-small gloves, so I toss them aside and he and I grab a leg each and drag the pig to safety. We got a bit "muddy" (its not just mud in a pigsty).

Our host graciously thanks me for the help, noting that was a few hundred dollars in livestock I just helped save, he and I wash up, and the whole gaggle heads off to dinner at a restaurant known for local products.

We get the menus and the waiter comes to take our orders. The host orders pork chops. I order pork chops. And I am not kidding the other nine people all order FISH!

The moral of this story is help always help a sheep in need.

One of my grazing permittees told me, “Sheep are born dead, they’re just looking for a place to lie down.”

All kinds of domestic animals have problems like this. We bred them for limited purpose and use, they're not meant to survive without our help.

If you have ever flown over a field where a flock of sheep are grazing you will understand why they are called field maggots.

I too was a bit hesitant about opening a thread with Shugart ass the author. I figured it would end up with him having sex with the sheep.

I’ve never heard that, and as I was wondering what you were talking about-I envisioned them from the air……and now I know
