<< Some people will tell you this is nose bots. However, I've noticed that my sheep start doing this about the same time the small black biting flies come out in the spring. They drive my sheep nuts all spring and summer. After the first major frost kills the flies, my sheep no longer run around like crazed grasshoppers. >> Mine exhibited the same behavior last year when I first got them as little lambs and I thought it was just weird sheep behavior. lol This year it started again.... like Carol mentioned, I discovered it's the pesky biting flies that cause that behavior. I was planning on contacting the folks that I bought the worm kit from and ask if they had any suggestions.
