Stunned Farmer Finds Flock Of Sheep In Her Home

A young sheepdog lent new meaning to the phrase “bringing the sheep home” after he led a flock straight into a farmer’s home.

Rosalyn Edwards was working in her kitchen on Wednesday 25 October, when she suddenly started to hear strange noises.

When she turned around she was stunned to discover her Border collie puppy, Rocky, had proudly led nine sheep into her house.

The seven-month-old sheepdog-in-training had taken advantage of an open gate to usher the sheep through into the Edwards’ home in Devon via the back door.

“My son and husband had gone out into the field, and the gate was left open. Rocky got them out and led them to the house.

“I was in the kitchen and heard a noise. I turned around and the sheep were just standing there. There were about nine of them.

“I took the children into another room and then tried to guide the sheep out.”

Mrs Edwards later posted a video of the livestock melee in her home on Facebook, in which she and her husband, Andrew, 41, can be heard trying to shoo the animals from their home.


Eventually the flock was marched out via the porch at the front of their home, leaving a trail of muck in their wake.

I've had that happen a few times. It was only four sheep and they walked in on their own. They ate all the fruit and left some calling cards.

My baby girl used to herd people, children, the other dogs, balloons ...
Never had the chance to herd sheep tho.

Some how I feel silly about being upset that the cat kept bringing mice and lizards in the house.

Herding breeds are programed for herding from the womb. My Corgi was trying to herd people when she was 8 weeks old. She's spent her life as a house dog and she tries to keep everyone in the same room at family get togethers. She even nips my wife's butt sometimes.

Why would the farmer be stunned? The dog and sheep behaviour is all normal. Oh! It's the newspaper that wants the readers to be stunned!
The newspaper is grooming gullible readers for future news items..
The news could be just "this is heartwarming everyday life for a hardworking farmer."
Instead, they work it up a melodramav.

Sounds like that house just became a second barn.

Some herders are raised with the sheep so they identify them as family and are protective. This one was just bringing friends home. "You live in this field? WTF! C'mon home and check out my room. Much cozier."
