Scatology

is the study of the waste material from various critters. Last night upon arriving at home, there appeared to be sheep poop on the driveway. Now since our sheep are locked in the pasture it was puzzling to see that there. I grabbed my boy and he confirmed it looked like sheep stuff to him as well, but my wife told us we both had lost our minds.

Well, this morning we found that the sheep could get out! Towards the back we had a fencing opportunity and they walked through it, across the neighbor's field towards the front and had to be herded back. So it appears yesterday, on their own, they walked out, pooped on the driveway and then walked all the way back in!

And you thought knowing scat had no real purpose!
