Nor Badger Face.  I've seen one put her front feet on the back of one next to a young ash whip, hook her neck over the whip then lower herself to the ground, bringing the whip down with her.  She then stands while the others grab the top leaves and start to chew, securing the whip, before moving round to eat the leaves for herself.  Whoever said sheep were stupid?
