Very Happy Sheep

Here's a funny little article courtesy of the BBC. Basically, farmers in North Tyneside dye the undersides of their rams blue before releasing them into a field with ewes. By seeing which of the ewes have blue dye transferred to their backs, they can then tell which ones are likely to have had intercourse. Unexpectedly, however, all the rams turned blue instead.

The official explanation is that the rams have been fighting each other. My explanation (and clearly I am not the only one), is that they found each other a bit too distracting, and enjoyed a bit of ram on ram friskiness...
