"I know the idea of being threatened by sheep is amusing, but rams are quite large, and if they butt you onto the ground, they’ll probably keep doing it for a while."

Near to where I live an old man was killed by sheep recently. They trampled him to the ground and just kept on trampling until there was only a bloody mess left. It'd never have happened if he was young and strong, but it sounded to me as though the sheep really did want to kill him. I've heard about sheep pushing someone in a wheelchair off a clifftop, too. I'm not making any of this up!

a sheep in sheep's clothing, then.

scary!

I can vouch for sheep being aggressive but I was very interested in your vists to the Talgarth area in general. I have some interest in local history and believe that I have found evidence of a standing stone and possibly the remains of a barrow which has been overlooked by historians. What should I do?

That's crazy! Surely more people are killed by cats than sheep! Bloody townies.

Since we're on the subject of sheep and it seems to be getting silly......

Heard the one about the Western Isles band who recorded a revised version of the old Stones number

"Hey McLeod, get off of my ewe"

Well, its Friday night.

Here's an article about some research into sheep psychology. It appears that sheep prefer smiling faces to unhappy ones....

So, next time anyone gets harassed by hostile sheep...
