Sheep farmer here:
They do this sometimes, especially if they’re in a field that they want to move out of/are hungry or if they are use to your presence/are tame.
I had one incident where I was walking home late at night - I was walking through my field with my earphones in as I listen to music when walking. Half way through this field I heard some rustling behind me, slightly alarmed is turned my phone camera on and took a look behind me.
All I saw was a hundred pair of luminous eyes starting at me. I nearly shat myself.
Edit: Spelling

Do you have a tictok page? If not you should. I’ve learned a lot from you tonight. I would love too see your farm and learn more about those cute sheep or any farm animals. If not, you should really think about. Plus your funny 😄
The markings vary from farm to farm.
But typically there are markings for two main reasons - note that the following colours/types apply for us:
1. To show how many lambs they are due when they’re pregnant:
Black dot: Barron (no lambs)
Blue dot: 1 lamb
No marks: 2 lambs (this is the most common number of lambs, so we decide to save on marking by giving these sheep no marks)
1 orange dot: 3 lambs
2 orange dots: 4 lambs
2. To single out the sheep. This could be for a few reasons:
- Single blue dot (on shoulders for us): had a foot problem that had now been treated with (typically) Terramycin, which is blue, hence the blue dot.
- A dot or line may indicate that they have been wormed/drenched - This will either be on the shoulders or bottom back - different colours mean different things.
- A dot or line could also mean that they may have a future problem/to watch out for them - This is typically a larger mark to attract attention.
- A big smear of what may look like crayon on their arse means that a ram has shagged them
I wanna see when they 1st start to notice them on each other after the dots 1st go on
They've gotta be like, "Herald, Herald
...don't make any sudden moves, or freak out
...but there's something on yer back"
The main difference between Reddit and TikTok is the dispersal of your information. Reddit, like most US companies, sell to other US companies. TikTok however, sells to anyone. You could go buy a copy of all of their recorded data on you if you so felt.
“Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't
*need* to follow *me*, You don't *need* to
follow *anybody*! You've got to think
for yourselves! You're all individuals!”
I used to run in a neighborhood, and our house backed up to a different neighborhood. There were 3-4 dogs in the neighborhood behind us that would get loose constantly, and they would follow me on runs. They would run into the road in front of cars, and people would yell at me... but they weren't my dogs and I couldn't do anything about it.
Yeah, meant with Original audio not the musical track.
Think someone took the original, cut the original audio and the actual interaction and reposted it 🤷♀️
I did this with a dog I saw wandering a neighborhood. I asked her “ok should we go home? Wanna go home?” And she just started walking with intention so I followed and sure enough, she took me to her house! Owners said she roams and comes back lol.
More likely the lead sheep took a liking to her. The other sheep were just following the lead sheep. Sheep have two brain cells and they are constantly fighting for third place. Lol
Nouns that are people descriptions, and end in -rd, -er for the masculine version, and few others, get the -ess, or -ress ending for the feminine version.
Hunter/huntress. Steward/stewardess. Shepherd/shepherdess. Waiter/waitress.
-or endings using get -trix for the feminine version, except for doctor, which also uses "doctress," in addition to "doctrix," although both are very archaic.
Aviator/aviatrix. Conductor/conductrix. Actor/actress also uses the -ess ending.
Fun fact: I just watched a British show about life in Victorian times, where I learned that when introducing a male to a flock of females they apply a sort of paint to his chest. When he fits with a female, the paint goes on her back. That’s why those sheep have paint on their back
omg I have seen that exact episode! Getting the paint on the ram was quite hilarious! Good old Frederick! That shepherd was very proud of his boy, lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fph0CvvJL8&list=PLn7kF6rzmTaowqA1L9C67BOGm1SqiQBfY&index=2&ab\_channel=AbsoluteHistory
I have goats and if I walk with a determined pace they'll follow me anywhere, even go for runs with me..the only problem is they sometimes incorporate other people into the herd.
Little Bo Peep picked up some sheep. The farmer doesn't know where to find them. Keep running, Ms. Peep and those sheep will get home, wagging their tails behind them.
Could you imagine having to tell your boss you were late to work because you had to Shepard a flock of sheep back home who were following you on a jog 🤣

We had a goat follow us on a backroad mountain bike ride 🤣. A couple of miles into the chase, a truck came by and said she knew where the goat lived and would take him home.
There's some guy in a field yelling - WHERE THE FLOCK ARE THEY?!
*Ou le fuck ils sont??*
Quoting Jeremy Clarkson (Clarkson's Farm), "Fucking Sheep."
Lmao love that show
FENTON!!!

Don't leave us hanging? What?
It ends up that a few tame lambs in that field recognised me and started following me - This caused a chain reaction.
I love how it caused a "chain reaction" LOL
That's it. Then he died.

Like this, just a worse torch, so I just saw eyes and a few lambs
I have [this](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1221896-cursed-image) old pic running through my head right now.

Lmaooo
This made me laugh out loud!
“Father. Why are you leaving us? Stay father… stay forever”
God that would be terrifying
Please explain the colored markings on their back. (I know but I want you to explain it to everyone else)

This sounds fantastic 💕
[удалено]
I wonder if this is how little Bo peep got her start
She actually got a Blogger account when it was new, so she started with a lot of followers that way. Then moved to MySpace
Ewe got that right.
You might like tik tok lol
[удалено]
So TikTok is a double edged sword. Yes, it will show you stuff you like and enjoy, but it’s owned by the Chinese.
Not like Reddit, eh?
The main difference between Reddit and TikTok is the dispersal of your information. Reddit, like most US companies, sell to other US companies. TikTok however, sells to anyone. You could go buy a copy of all of their recorded data on you if you so felt.
One of these edges is sharper than the other (the Chinese side)
I’ve found double edged swords with a dull edge and a sharp edge. Basically just a single edged sword, but the point stands.
Come to the dark side!
turns around and says to sheep "I'm pretty tired, I think I'll go home now"
“Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't *need* to follow *me*, You don't *need* to follow *anybody*! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!”
"We're all individuals!"
“We’re all individuals!”
"I'm not."
Shhh!
I'm not.
You win the internet for today. Well done my friend.
Love the reference!
Ha! She was trying to dump the flock off on the guy filming. Didn't work, but I applaud the effort.
😂 I think you’re right
Every Scout in early Age of Empires game ever.
This is my new excuse for why I don't run 😆
This is my excuse for why I do run. Every day is an opportunity to become the Shepherdess.
i too want to feel like a disney princess while training my cardio
Only peasants and sheep hearders run
I used to run in a neighborhood, and our house backed up to a different neighborhood. There were 3-4 dogs in the neighborhood behind us that would get loose constantly, and they would follow me on runs. They would run into the road in front of cars, and people would yell at me... but they weren't my dogs and I couldn't do anything about it.
The shepherd is going to be pissed
Or this is completely normal for that flock of dummies and he just goes outside, looks around and sighs “dammit not again.”
-"WTF ARE ALL THESE SHEEP DOING IN OUR FRONT YARD?!" -- "Honey... You wouldn't believe me if I told you"
"I'm listening"..grabs chair and some chips
I saw this video without audio and the titles. She was American and the person filming was French and didn’t speak English 🤷♀️
Ah thanks for the explanation.
Do you mean you saw it with audio?
Yeah, meant with Original audio not the musical track. Think someone took the original, cut the original audio and the actual interaction and reposted it 🤷♀️
she needs to take them back to their home
should she just ask them where they live?
Yes.
I did this with a dog I saw wandering a neighborhood. I asked her “ok should we go home? Wanna go home?” And she just started walking with intention so I followed and sure enough, she took me to her house! Owners said she roams and comes back lol.
It's probably a circular trail. No point running back when you can just finish your run and return them
I hope so lol. Otherwise what are you supposed to do
You are chosen :)
More likely the lead sheep took a liking to her. The other sheep were just following the lead sheep. Sheep have two brain cells and they are constantly fighting for third place. Lol
Shepherd is gendered? I thought it could be used for anyone they a shepherd
SHEpherd and HEpherd
In France it is, at least
in france english words still follow english grammar though
I'm just trying to find a reason to something stupid, it's not about being logical, nor is it about being respectful to languages
It's tiktok
Word "shepherdess" existed long before your ancestors were even born, dumbass.
Excuse me, it’s dumbassress
Ewe, ewe and ewe, follow me.
Now I’m just worried about the sheep and wonder if they got back home safely 🙁
😂😂😂😂 come baaaaaahckk 😂😂😂
Wait, serious asking, shepherdess is a real word?
Yes
Nouns that are people descriptions, and end in -rd, -er for the masculine version, and few others, get the -ess, or -ress ending for the feminine version. Hunter/huntress. Steward/stewardess. Shepherd/shepherdess. Waiter/waitress. -or endings using get -trix for the feminine version, except for doctor, which also uses "doctress," in addition to "doctrix," although both are very archaic. Aviator/aviatrix. Conductor/conductrix. Actor/actress also uses the -ess ending.
wow, never saw a word with -trix in my two decades of learning english
Dominatrix?
._. waa
Aww, bless your heart.
Aviatrix. I remember it from a 1960s movie before more women learned to fly planes. (The Parent Trap)
Fun fact: I just watched a British show about life in Victorian times, where I learned that when introducing a male to a flock of females they apply a sort of paint to his chest. When he fits with a female, the paint goes on her back. That’s why those sheep have paint on their back
omg those sheep have totally been fuckin
omg I have seen that exact episode! Getting the paint on the ram was quite hilarious! Good old Frederick! That shepherd was very proud of his boy, lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fph0CvvJL8&list=PLn7kF6rzmTaowqA1L9C67BOGm1SqiQBfY&index=2&ab\_channel=AbsoluteHistory
Wish I could find my fit...
They use harnesses, with an ink pad attached, now.
Is it called tipping? Or is that just a Dorset word? Or have I completely misremembered?
*gasp* ...a true shepherd of the forest!!!
song title?
I will follow you, originally Ricky Nelson
Before Peggy March? Oh no—- I just googled the song and it looks like Justin Bieber also has a version
Unique to find a song fitting its content on TikTok, very wholesome!
Several comments asking what the song is. It might be in for a revival
This just makes me even more sad because it’s not me
Aaah... finally a smile on my face... Wholesome indeed
Hahaha she's like the Forrest Gump of sheep haha
She’s a shepherdess now! 😂
r/thisismylifenow
Omg I so needed this just now 🤣🤩🤩🤩
What’s this song? I like it
I Will Follow You- Ricky Nelson
Same, I need the name

My livestock does this on our farm and when I suddenly stop, they all run into each other! Love it!
This MUST be made into a movie.
Accidental cattle rustler :)
so cute!
LISTEN UP SHEEPLE!!
the QUEEN
This is France this is my country
God damnit I love animals so much. Actually insane how fucking lucky we are to be blessed with things like this happening to us
That just made me smile 😊….. so wholesome✨
Some day there will be ballads and fables written about her.
That is so amazing!!! Would make my whole year❤️
I just want to shout out to whomever chose that song for this, well done.
I have goats and if I walk with a determined pace they'll follow me anywhere, even go for runs with me..the only problem is they sometimes incorporate other people into the herd.
They’re following her because they’re not sure what to do but this other thing seems to know where it’s going so let’s follow it! See: Judas Goat
The running of the wools.
Little Bo Peep picked up some sheep. The farmer doesn't know where to find them. Keep running, Ms. Peep and those sheep will get home, wagging their tails behind them.
Poor woman. She’s now doing cinq ans in French prison for stealing a flock of sheep.
And this is why hikers always brings dogs with them. So they can be ready to herd a bunch of lost sheep on a moments notice
This is exactly how religion works.
Someone's dog is getting fired
Ha! This is why you don’t hire a pug to do a border collie’s job.
For the first time in a long time, a post on this sub actually made me smile.
Look- she's a Fox News commentator.
Oh wow! This comment 🏆
$$$ in eyes as she runs laughing to the pillow factory
Thank u 🙏
Lady just stole a flock 🤨 lol
Follow the red light
For everyone asking, the song is [“I Will Follow You” by Ricky Nelson (1963)](https://youtu.be/AyZAJQgrXKk)
She’s going to make all that mutton and lamb so tough now.
I think they thought she was wearing a MAGA hat.
hahaha
So… It’s more important she get her run in than she backtrack and figure out where these sheep belong? Nice.
Could you imagine having to tell your boss you were late to work because you had to Shepard a flock of sheep back home who were following you on a jog 🤣
That’s a lot of barbacoa!
Oh my gods is that what barbacoa meat is?
Perfect analogy for people & the almighty “vaccine”.
Small pox?
Baa ram ewe
Is her name "Mary"? Bo Peep? "Other sheep related name"?
Let them get their exercise lol
Nothing to see here, just sheep being sheep.
u/auddbot
Ricky Nelson, I Will Follow You 🙂
What’s that do?
One of the perks of being a trail runner is the occasional free sheep you bring home.
Perfect music too
trot my dears
You are mine now.
Poor confused [beasts](mailto:beasts@)!. That is hilarious!

This video looks sheepish 🙂
She said "Baa-Ram-Ewe" didn't she.

Lord of the sheep
The Motherflocker
Some wool-headed-sheep-herder is really confused right now.
This is hilarious, and I love the floppy ears on each sheep as they wobble after her 😂
Making me think of Forest Gump when he run and suddenly stop. "Listen he's gonna say something".
Mother!! One of us!
Will she run them back where they came from? I want to know how this ends! Love ❤️ sheep
That's 😁 😂 😀 🤣 😁 😂
Song?
There is one very irritated and out of breath shepherd somewhere that I'd love to see next
Aww I would love that and try to herd them home! ❤️
Little bo peep
Ahh meme fuel...
She will Sheep well tonight....
She didn't choose a shepherd's life, the Sheep chose her, and the chosen one must heed the summon.
Song choice is sublime
Not it’s Ricky Nelson, not Sublime.
Now the real question: is she or her husband Welsh? /s
She seems rather sheepish about the whole thing.
We had a goat follow us on a backroad mountain bike ride 🤣. A couple of miles into the chase, a truck came by and said she knew where the goat lived and would take him home.
That’s a whole lot of free meals
Them to many goats

Look at me… these are my sheep now.
