Which is why they are confused when you put scary-looking people with waving hands in places where you don't want them to go, and no scary-looking people in the one place they're supposed to go.<br /><br />In an ongoing argument about which are dumber, cows or sheep, my brother finally won because he pointed out that cows will follow a four-wheeler with a hay bail on it, and sheep will not. Or maybe he lost the argument--I forget. At any rate, for small flocks, it's often easier to transfer them one-by-one, where they can't spook each other and/or divide and conquer your sheep-transfer crew.Sandranoreply@blogger.com
