Saw it on the news last night, can't believe they haven't been claimed yet???
Shame, i'd have them  :innocent: :innocent:

Is no-one bothered that (a) these ewes look pregnant and (b) there are usually plants poisonous to sheep in gardens. ?

Can't the police get an eartag number and find the farmer from that?

Just down the road from me, but not mine.
 
Does look from the photo as though they're not tagged at all - so probably a small flock "owned" by someone who doesn't take much to the rules, so suspect they'll not claim them or else they'll be done !

Good news.  You'd think that couple would be grateful for all the free manure.  :roflanim:
