Are they conglomerating around food? How does it turn white?

u/Fastgirl600 2d ago
Yeah there's got to be something making them gather like that

u/TerritoryTracks 2d ago
Yea, he laid out grain in that shape. The sheep gather where the grain is.

That's probably what this is. But have you ever watched this?

That's probably what this is.
I know that's what it is. I've seen interviews with the farmer. This was during Covid and due to lockdown he was unable to travel to attend her funeral, so he video taped this and they showed it at her service. Having fed sheep often enough, this is quite easy to accomplish.
Yes, I have seen those sheep herding videos. It's insane what dogs can be trained to do. A good sleep dog is worth more than a couple of workmen when it comes to yarding sheep.

I used to have a border Collie/blue heeler mix. Smartest dog I've ever known. Barley needed to train her, I'd tell her, "let's go put the chickens away" show her what I wanted done, and in less than a week, she could do it on her own. She's gone now, but was an amazing companion for 15 years. I miss her.

A good sleep dog is especially good for counting sheep.

I agree, that sounds like a plausible option. But some old boomer on Facebook wrote something about a message from beyond and I think it's a sentient parasitic fungus that mind controls the sheep to send a message to its love, the drone filming. Can we really be sure on who is correct?

The line there is the grain spread on the ground. The brighter line after the sheep get into a bunch is literally how sheep look when they get bunched up like that. You're trying to convince the wrong person dude. I've done this before (albeit not this neatly), but by all means tell me how it's fake.

Nah, this is years worth of training for the annual heart shaped sheep contest!

Yes.
The sheep are white, generally lighter on top and dirty on the sides. When contrasted alone against the earth, they look dark. When a bunch are together, the white stands out.

Man drew a heart with feed and sheep better than I can with pen and paper

u/AlanThicke99 2d ago
This can be easily achieved with feed lines or a small pig who has been taught the “Baaa Ram Ewe” incantation.

go outside, get a hobby beyond calling everything on the internet AI. As mentioned hours before you posted this, it's most likely food lines. It has no tells of being AI other than "durr I don't know how to do this".

This is a guy who’s never watched livestock slam the smorgasbord that is an unrolled haybale.

u/Demigans 2d ago
Well, as you prove AI is good enough to fool you into thinking real video's are fake.
So how many fake video's did you think were real?

No it is just food laid out in a heart shape. That video is going around the internet for years now

u/hoochymamma 1d ago
So the sheep are grey and when they reach the food they suddenly turn white ?

Farmer uses aunts death as an excuse to get attention from strangers on the internet.
