do you remember The Bible, and Jesus when he sent demons out of a man to several pigs, they jump off a cliff?

This is awful. I should be feeling sorry for those poor animals, but all I can think about is roast lamb...I've lost my moral compass in mint jelly.

Wow did they even make the wrong sheep the Bellwether.I know the Bellwether can be stubborn at times and only go where it wants to, but I still think that it wouldn't jump off a cliff unless it was being chase or maybe it was very sick.Or maybe the sheppards conspired to have her chase or throw off the cliff to collect some money?Who knows.A mystery for now.

Actually, that's only $220 a sheep, which is less than the value of a mature wool producing sheep here in the US. Dave

They must be figuring insurance companies or the U.N. are going to ante up money to replace their sheep, hence the incredibly high estimate of value. Gosh, I love lamb marinated in yogurt & garlic, & then grilled over charcoal! With lots of really good basmati rice!

The comment in the post that cracked me up was the one guy saying...there's nothing we can do, there all wasted! I had this immediate picture of Jeff Spicolli jump in my head!

There is truly nowhere a sheep will not follow the bellwether. How do you s'pose slaughterhouses get the sheep to march up to ramp to their doom? They lead the bellwether (the lead sheep, usually female) - and where she goes, the others follow. The real trick is to lead the bellwether - she usually knows exactly where she wants to go, and you haven't seen stubborn until you've tried to lead her somewhere else...

They were Democrat Sheep and saw the handwriting on the wall. Wooly Bully played in the background. Hmm, a flock of sheep falling to their death because they lacked a shepherd. There's something metaphorical in that. Requiem aeternam, little sheep.

The Gadarene Sheep?

Damn, those are the most expensive sheep I've ever seen! $100k for 450 deaders? Even if all 1500 were "wasted" (how's that?) it's still above top dollar for sheep.

They are 'herded.' They are all in one place now and they don't even have to keep an eye on them.

What's with the sheepherders? Why didn't they get off their buts and go 'herd' them instead of sitting there watching?

I heard it took a while to count all the sheep. People kept falling asleep in mid-count.

They're going to need about 1800 of those little paper hats should they decide to serve Leg O' Lamb tonight.

Too funny... Too bad there wasn't a giant vat of mint jelly to break their fall.

That is so weird. Maybe something was chasing them. Or maybe it's an early sign of armageddon.

Needless to say, but they are likely having one heck of a Lamb Shish-kabob party tonight!
