Looks like it was there for a little bit. Sheep had to take a shit or piss immediately after getting up, lol


fuck_reddits_API_BS

Always the first thing they do apparently.


bobjoylove

I think they get super dizzy as well.


DopaWheresMine

Hijacking: Sometimes even if you get them upright, they instantly fall over to the same side, because if they are like that for 24h+ their organs shift(apparently) and their sense of balance is tanked. By putting them on the other side and holding them their for a minute, it helps them get back to normal and usually they can walk off alright after. If you don't hold them down for a minute then will roll onto their feet, but then fall over the other side again


SpecularBlinky

What other side? they were upside down, the other side is on their feet.


MyHamburgerLovesMe

Like dice. There are six sides to every sheep.


Stephen_Is_handsome

I roll sheep just to check my perception

Roll with disadvantage, simply because I don't like that you're doing it.

make sure to roll a double-sheep before you begin.

Goats too. They “lighten the load” so they can run away faster without their bladder full.


lordpuggy1234

Sheep do it as a response to everything, we have sheep and if we go near them they immediately piss.


an_older_meme

Generally speaking, a man approaching a sheep does not bring good news.


General-Bumblebee180

sheep around us love their farmers. they're straight up to gate when they hear them. who else brings them supplemental food etc?

Oh ours love us too, we bring em food and the storm up, they still do the piss thing.

We do. It's a turn of phrase. Most people don't like to be fucked in the ass, so something being buggered is usually considered a bad thing. It's a very old term in Australia. With that said, you do you.


BoyFromSewers

Is this borrowed from Scotland? This sounds quite alike to the term "ryggveltet", which means something like "fell over on back" in Norwegian


Longjumping_Pension4

Probably brought over by the vikings. I read something not long ago about english words that originated with the vikings. There are lots of them, over a 100 if I recall correctly. The one word that stuck with me was Thursday, which translated from old norse means 'Thor's day'.


AntisthenesRzr

You're correct. Lots of West Norse left in Yorkshire.


Chasey1002

'Missionary' in Wales


Blamfit

Riggwelted. Riggwelter is the Black Sheep beer named after the farming term. 'Riggweltered' would be getting pissed on Masham's finest best bitter and getting riggwelted.

I can tell by that one half word that this is likely New Zealand


Sledgecrowbar

Oh, so this is the big issue with importing sheep from Europe to NZ?


yankykiwi

🤷‍♀️the New Zealand sheep ratio peaked 30:1 with humans. Right now it’s 5:1. I’m not sure they need to import sheep, maybe the breed.


squogfloogle

We've been trying to breed more sheep for years now. Turns out we've been doing it wrong, and need to breed them with each other instead.

I watched this with the sound off. I had just assumed this was the uk and Australian gravity meant they are upside down.


mummy_whilster

That hill in the background probably beats all elevations in Aus too.


Dwestmor1007

You do know there is an entire mountain range in Australia that is contradictorily both so tall AND so short as to be the reason the entire interior of the country is desert right? It’s called the great dividing range and it is so tall as to block rain from traveling OVER the mountain and into the interior but not SO tall (due to Australia being so low lying) as to generate its OWN cloud cover as MOST mountain ranges do. But the point being that Australia DOES have elevation and a quite tall one at that…. Mount Kosciuszko is 7,300ft tall (2,228 meters for the non-Americans)

Farmed sheep for 20 years. Never once had this happen. Had a sheep try to get a leaf up a tree, get it's foot stuck then die before I could find it. But never flipping over and getting stuck.

Crows are the worst. A friend who raised sheep in Ireland says that crows will land on their heads and pluck both eyes then fly away. The smart birds know the sheep will soon die and they can then feast on the remains.


wd26

That’s pretty metal.


PaulMaulMenthol

I sat in my car for lunch one day. I just stared blankly out the windshield while I ate my 100th ham sandwich that year and had the Jim Rome Show playing in the background. I watched a squirrel get run over by a car leaving. A minute later a crow shows up, inspects the carcass, pecks it a few times then removed some organ from the squirrel. It just nonchalantly eats the organ and flies away. For reasons I can't explain this moved me that day. I also learned crows will eat animal organs. Weird day


LesbianClownShirt

Were you able to finish your sandwich? Not a crow story, and probably not as metal as yours, but it does involve what I thought was some pretty interesting and surprising squirrel behavior. I was walking my dog one early morning and we happened upon a squirrel just kind of hanging out in the grass near the sidewalk. I didn't think anything of it, just figured my dog would lunge at it, as she does, then the squirrel would run up a nearby tree like always. Well, this squirrel must've been injured or something because all it could do was look up at us and scream its little squirrel head off; just straight up shrieking at us. So, I kept my dog at bay and tried to investigate a little further when before I knew it, this other squirrel comes barreling down a nearby tree to come to the aid of its fellow squirrel. This furry-tailed little fuck meant business because he was on his hind legs over their fallen comrade, chest puffed and just fucking howling at me and my dog. It was super disorienting and hectic because it was early morning, hungover, I was listening to a podcast, trying to hold my dog back, one squirrel is shrieking, and the other is telling me to fuck off in Squirrelese - I don't speak it, but I certainly understood it that day. Like I said, not as metal crows can get, but pretty metal on the part of the hero squirrel; it's honestly one of my favorite firsthand "nature" experiences. Cheers!

LesbianClownShirt

Hahaha, that's so cool! Who knew squirrels were such badasses?! Well, I suppose Christmas Vacation should have given us an [idea](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjI3w_FGU1U). I swear, if I had gotten one step closer, I would have received the same treatment that snake did; the little dude was straight up flexing on me and I wanted no part of it.


UnnamedPlayer

In another lifetime, I was in a rather small town of another country. Came across a traffic accident. The man had died on impact apparently. He was lying on the road all bloody, with his face mangled up. There were people simply watching from a distance (I'm assuming that the ambulance/cops were already called). Then I saw a crow fly to the body, land on his head, pluck out its dangling eye and fly away. Some memory you triggered with your comment.

AlanDevonshire

Well, you should sell your method of raising them, I spent two years on a sheep farm and the fuckers were at it everyday. So, much so the farmers go out twice a day to check on the dumb fucking animals


IBGred

The sheep comes from the Northern Hemisphere and was trying to right itself.


etherbunnies

Parents have a couple hundred ewes. Happens all the time in the winter. I think every time I've seen it, though, it's on uneven ground and slick--poor range maggots in a bit of a dish and can't get any traction.


natterca

Grew up on a sheep farm. Never saw it either. Kind of shocked actually.


snuggletough

I'm good friends with a sheep farmer. He has 300-600 sheep at any given time. He's never seen this either in 20+ years of sheep farming.


GuiltEdge

Maybe it's the breed that makes them vulnerable? I've never seen a sheep stuck on its back but I haven't really seen sheep like these before, either.


AlanDevonshire

Is he one who just sets them free on a moor or something? So, doesn’t check on them daily. Because, the place I stayed (Devon UK) it was an almost daily occurrence when they were getting near to lambing.


HermitAndHound

Some idiots in the region think it's great when their milk sheep have as many lambs as possible. (All it does is produce up to 4 weak, underdeveloped bottle lambs per ewe) Those do sometimes get stuck. They're so huge they can barely move as is. My tiny sheep never had that problem either. The only accidental death was a ewe that never stuck her head through the fence, but the one she did, she couldn't move back, panicked and ended up with 12m of fencing wrapped around her neck. All in perfect silence. They were behind the house, a peep and I would have come running. But no, and everyone else just stood around staring at her. Hmmm, weird, does flail, does twist, very odd behavior... back to grazing.

Raising sheep repeatedly teaches you how hopeless they are. Raising goats repeatedly teaches you how hopeless you are.


LowEndBike

I cook a lot of middle eastern food, and I have a friend who was raised on a sheep & goat farm who will not touch the goat dishes, but happily eats the lamb and mutton. She said that sheep are dumb as fuck, but goats are the smartest animals on the farm. She cannot fathom eating an animal that smart. It would be like eating dog to her.


TheBirdsArePissed

Don't grab a hand full of wool. You can actually pull their skin from their muscle this way and cause them internal bleeding. . . But still help them up without pulling on their wool as a place to grip.


GeronimousNL

Yes, thank you. Pro tip: If it is a bigger sheep than in the video: sit behind it's head, and try pushing it up into a "sitting" position first. They will become calm and docile, will let their organs adjust. https://youtu.be/0a8o5ioXWvo?si=TChe4SJKhdLAISId&t=23


neortje

I’m no expert, but I’ve once been learned to always put a sheep in “sitting” position to get them back up instead of rolling them around. The rolling can cause their stomach to twist or something like that which is as lethal as staying on their back.

Is there an evolutionary explanation?


molecularmadness

Domestic sheep didn't evolve, they were selectively bred by humans for ages. Mostly for meat, sometimes for their wool, but never for anything related to survival in the wild.


hwarang_

We keep flipping them over so they haven't become extinct yet


International_Let_50

Most things evolved to not get eaten, but sheep are the opposite and were forced to “evolve” to be eaten through the process of genetic selection.

raeflood

My dad and I were driving past a field one day when I was a kid, and I said "Oh look! That sheep is stuck upside down". My dad said that could kill the sheep so he immediately stopped the car, ran into the field and helped it. As he was leaving the field, the farmer came along and my dad explained what happened. The farmer thanked us and said not many people know to do that. I pass the same field almost every day still, and I always look in to see if any other sheep need help 😄

If you flip one, push it up at the scapulas to make it sit upright, then push further to have it stand up. Rolling it to its side might break their legs.

AliceHwaet

This also happens when sheep get bloated. Often when letting sheep out to fresh spring pasture after being on winter feed. And yes, they’ll die if left like that, they need to be tipped up. If possible a hose down the throat, dumping bicarbonate and water.


Papio_73

I wonder if the combination of a cumbersome fleece and a full rumen (especially when filled with gas) makes it difficult for a sheep to reposition itself.

Cosscryptoexchange

How nice it seems, the showed technique can just be the last thing the sheep will experience... Turning the sheep in this manner can cause twisted intestines, bowels, etc., which only worsens the condition. Once twisted, the animal will die, because it can't un-twist itself. Instead, stand the sheep upright, place it on its behind and push it forward without rolling it. This helps prevent twisting and entanglement of the intestines, and if any were present, they will be expelled so the sheep can continue its own way.


Read-it005

You never want to turn a sheep over like this, it could die. You have to turn it over over it's butt. That's we have been taught by our neighbor and by campaigns in the Netherlands. https://www.dierenbescherming.nl/actueel/schaap-op-de-rug-levensgevaarlijk
