Everyone was hoping I would step out of the barn with Fruit Loops! However, I feed treats to them from the other side of the fence. Learned long long ago that the sheep are fine running into you like linebackers! The first time I got bumped over by a sheep was by our very first sheep Woolamina. She was a big Suffolk sheep and so sweet. Supper time was usually casual until the night I was walking her into the barn with her bucket of grain in my hand. She was behind me, as always, but took the corner short and down I went. She was trying to get her head in the bucket- she didn’t mean it but down I went. Right into muddy barnyard mess! I’m much more careful now because that was not the only time I got tumbled. Once in a while they DO give me a bump though. I think they have a right good laugh about it too!
