Sheep News: Running with sheep - Wild and woolly sheep drive thrills Reed Point crowd

In some Spanish and Italian cities, like San Fermin, they are running with bulls through the streets as part of a festival.
In Reed Point, Montana (USA), they run with sheep.

To cite one of the organisors:
"They asked me, 'What do you have to do to run with the sheep?' " Schlievert said. "I said, 'Be a little crazy.' They said, 'That's us.' "


A sure thrill, all those sheep in the streets:
Seconds later, the dust kicked up two blocks away and the sound of a record 2,219 scrambling and bleating sheep - with a few goats mixed in - grew louder.

Hmmm. Shaccident (sheep accident?) sounds a bit like shagcident (oops, I did not mean to do that right now..). With over 2000 sheep running and leaping (on each other) you can expect some to end up rolling on their backs.
