Loose sheep 🐑 and goats seem to be a constant problem in my area. These guys had been wandering around our neighbourhood for a couple of weeks making a nuisance of themselves. The last straw came when they broke into our garden and stripped the leaves off our fruit trees. So I called the Council animal control, this photo was taken the day after animal control had rounded them up and gave them back to their owner, they were straight back into my garden.

The (rather sheepish) owners showed up and took them away to the freezing works about an hour later, guess I won't be seeing these guys again, but after 10 years here I know it's really only a matter of time till another creature shows up and starts munching on my trees.

If you want to live in a rural area and run animals, you really should have adequate fencing,especially during lambing or if you have goats.
