Looking sheepish by shepherdman

Looking sheepish

We have sheep in the field on the far side of the river, which means taking care with the dogs as we approach the bridge. On Saturday morning I kept to the fields on “our” side of the river, with the sheep some distance away on the other side. The dogs started barking at something across the river, and I rounded some shrubs to see a single sheep, away from the flock

I don’t know how it got itself into this position, but sheep, once they are on their back, cannot roll back over. We walked along the river to the bridge, crossed and turned back on ourselves, dogs on leads, and rolled the ewe right way up. It promptly ran off away from the flock, and we had to shepherd it back to join it’s mates.
That is the weirdest thing. They really cannot get back up!?!
Probably about flipped when you came up to take the shot.
He just wanted his tummy scratched! :)

She (!) definitely looked worried when I approached with two dogs in tow (on leads!)
