So, this little ewe lamb keeps getting "lost." Sometimes, she doesn't get out the gate with the others and just stands there bawling. I have to lift her up so she can see over the hill and then she starts running in the air, so I put her down and let her go. Sometimes, I have to carry her out, if the sheep have turned the corner.
Sometimes, I hear her crying out in the pasture - if it goes on long enough, I go out and find her. Once, I found her standing five feet away from her mother facing the wrong way. Her mama was patiently bawling back at her (saying, I swear, "Turn around, girl!") I picked her up, turned her around, and she spied her mom and ran over.
There is a reason sheep have the reputation they do. It doesn't apply to all sheep, but this one takes the cake. Either that, or she loves to make noise.
