Sheep

• Sheep spiritdogs Posted : 2/22/2011 10:29:42 PM  We've gone round and round about how smart dogs are or aren't.  Interesting article about the fact that we may not have known as much as we thought about sheep either: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/sheep-much-more-intelligent-than-assumed.html LIKE 1 REPLY 386 VIEWS LAST POST DEBBIESTX Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

They prefer alfalfa hay over their regular wheat hay, and will call to me if they see me moving an alfalfa bale.       The oldest ewe (12 years) followed my husband around for days last month after he brought her into the house and helped her delivier triplets. We were having sub zero temperatures at the time and he knew she wouldn't survive outside. She stayed in for about 24 hours, then outside in a dog run out of the wind for a couple days before being returned to the flock. She would run to him for days, and just stay close.    0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
