Hi Petra. Being as how I’m a old county boy I can tell you that most sheep are dumb. From the day they are born they are taught to follow the leader.

Sheep have a strong instinct to follow the leader. When one sheep decides to go somewhere, the rest of the flock usually follows, even if it is not a good decision. For example, if the lead sheep jumps over a cliff, the others are likely to follow. Even from birth, lambs are conditioned to follow the older members of the flock. Take Care…Don in creepy town
