In photos shared by the Durham County Sheriff’s Office on social media, animal control flocked to the call of “six woolly trespassers” on Duck Pond Court. Upon arrival, they found five white ewes and one black ram grazing the backyard of a home.
After backup arrived, the social media post said animal control was able to corral the ewes out of the backyard to Ganyard Farm Way. It said they had to resort to nearby items in the neighborhood — including trash cans, pig boards and cornhole boards — to make a fortress that contained them.

The owner of the ewes and ram arrived with a trailer and the new “herders” helped get the flock loaded up.
