Capsized Sheep just can't get up

People ask about this all of the time. If a sheep keels over in a field, there's a good chance that they won't be able to get up again, because their bodies are so heavy and their legs are so spindly. A couple of seconds after I took this picture, I walked over to 428 and tipped her back upright. 428 makes a habit of tipping over. It's actually kind of dangerous, because it means that she's vulnerable to vermin and carrion. Don't think about it too much, it's an apalling way to die. Link: Black Sheep Movie
