I’m half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I’m over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

    Oh yeah, we can see everything in the pasture from the back deck of the house. The 6 month.old calf tries to play with the sheep, but they don’t understand why this giant is chasing them.

    Sheep are, in my experience, the dumbest livestock around. The will shove their head through fence openings to eat the exact same grass on their side, get stuck, and then just bleat to be rescued. They are coyote unaware, and will stare at them instead of running away to the barn. They fall in ponds and creeks and can’t get back out. Get tangled up in blackberry vines and get stuck.

    Wild sheep are probably smart in order to survive, but domestication has removed all semblance of cleverness.
