My Soay range in tameness. Some jump up, while others, though they follow the bucket, keep a distance away. The very confident ones will eat out of strangers hands so possibly could be stolen. Any fast movements or unfamiliar situations tend to freak even these ones though. Think a collie in the field would just cause chaos.
Most people seem to think that my sheep are goats or deer.
Is there much incidence of theft of primitive sheep?
Do sheep thieves tend to turn up with a dog and trailer? How is it done?
5 tups were stolen recently from a field near here.
