Escapees

The pastures seem to be free from the woolly mowers, presumably because they've gone off to the maternity ward. But these two have decided they want to take a different option. They've got into the main section of Blacka and were happily munching on the side of Bole Hill.

Does this bother the grazier at all? My impression is that these days sheep fetch such low prices that there's less care taken of the odd individuals than used to be the case, especially on hills where so much effort is needed to retrieve them. It's been common for many years to find sheep on the highly dangerous stretch of the A625 bordering Blacka, yet nothing seems to be done about it.

Another consequence of stray sheep is trouble with dogs. Walking dogs here is popular due to the normal absence of farm animals.
