Sheep will always look after themselves with no thought to other creatures. They can be selfish and somewhat conniving but incredibly stupid.

greasy is the word - slimey in fact!! I think little lambs are sweet and cuddly, but sheep - yuk!!! you ever know what they will do next, in fact I don't think they know what they'll do next :-D

They do Maggie, but older ones are a bit tough. Mutton isn't as sweet as lamb.

In my opinion anyway.xx

There were sheep on the farm I grew up on. They were cute as lambs, but the adult ones were stinky, noisily bleated on about nothing all day long,and constantly got into places they shouldn't.

One fell in a ditch and the others piled in one on top of the other............it took ages to get them out.................stupid things!

On the plus side, I do love a good roast lamb dinner :-)

as there are so many sheep in the UK and I assume it costs next to nothing to feed them[?] - the eat grass, why is lamb so expensive to buy at the butchers? :-S

Lambing ewes can pass on infections to pregnant women which could cause them to abort.
