Blue sheep


I have to ask, why are the sheep blue?

[Cuppa]

I have to ask, why are the sheep blue?

I took the photo on Dartmoor (Devon, UK) a couple of years ago. Farmers run their sheep in areas with no fences I think the blue is to indentify who they belong to. I saw green & pink too.

Correct, farmers use "common" land to graze their stock.... paint is to identify what's theirs....

Imagine trying to do that in Australia with the size of some sheep stations, would take forever to sort the blues from the pinks and greens.

A bit of a ‘thin’ month in regard to entry numbers, but some quality pics nevertheless.

In first place with 13 votes is our runaway winner Amy, (winnie’s missus) posted by Winnie (not sure why Amy didn’t post it herself). A top shot of the spud country around Thorpedale in Gippsland. Seems Amy has got the hang of their new camera.

In second place with 9 votes is FNQGU with his shot of what was once a busy set of cattle yards, but now an outback remnant.

In 3rd place with 8 votes is Growler with his shot of a Southern Cross classic with a great backdrop.
