Sun is up, birds are chirpy and I have only had about 4 hours sleep . . It seems the sheep has the night off! I watched the movie Fast and Furious 7 which was the last of the Paul Walker movies as he died during the filming in a private crash - Paul Walker/Cause of death - Major trauma. The movie's ending was changed and I loved the ending as it played homage to the actor that was a star from the on-start. This had me quite emotional and sleep just went with the sheep - Night off! my photo - painted Sheep in the Tipperary Hills of Ireland They always say movies have lasting affects - now I know its true!

I hope they aren't hoping to make money from the fleeces of those sheep - unless they're going to make red, white and blue jumpers.

@Inlemay Sorry - wrote my comment before the others. They paint them when they've been mated so that they don't put the ram in with ewes who have already been serviced. Also sometimes they paint them when they've had the lambs so they can quickly see which are still waiting.

@boiboing Oh thanks for sharing that info, I've wondered why they paint them too

I suppose that those are not permanent colors, or the fleeces are worthless.

@Inlemay I see many sheep looking from the windows of our upper floor. They are in a field two blocks from home. There are cute little lambs right now.
