Don't talk on your cell phone while moving a sheep flock with a bad ram in it.
I was talking to my sister in CA and took the dogs in to move the sheep down into my field and while engrossed in the conversation I forgot to tell the dogs to hold, not fetch. All 3 went around and brought me the sheep (and goats). I realized what was happening and started to hightail it out of there and yelled at the dogs to LIE DOWN! I got completely around in a circle and still the flock was following me. That stupid ram saw his chance and left the flock to come after me. I moved away but realized I had nowhere to go fast enough so I stopped and braced myself for impact. Nothing happened and I'm not sure who saw what was going on and came to my rescue, but that ram left and I was able to get away and the flock went through the gate into the field. Whew! Thank you either Seth, Meg or Crue for pushing that ram back off me. After I started thinking again I realized I still had the phone on my ear. I apologized to my sister for all the vulgarities that must have come out of my mouth and through the phone to her ear. Damn that stupid ram! After breeding season I am again going to put him up for sale and if again nobody buys him I'm putting him in the freezer as dog food!
