The Sheep That Got My Goat

I drove way over to the far side of Ft Worth tonight and bought an
ex-drilling rig Dodge diesel pickup (not 4wd, not manual tranny...boo)
and then proceeded directly to the tractor supply store to buy the
fixins for a sheep pen for the bed. I built the pen in their parking
lot and then picked up the sheep I bought last week which happened to
be within a few miles of where the truck was at.
I got the sheep home and introduced the best ram to the two ewes. He
made no fuss about sniffing them over and then immediately proceeding
to bash the living snot out of his former buddy (the other ram) so now
the other ram has a 1.5" gash down to the bone on his forehead. They
were ramming each other through the fence (which just barely eeked
through still standing) and on one of their hits, the morons aligned
right on a "T-post" (steel fence post w/ a cross-section like a "T")
and you can imagine that the one on the pointy end of the "T" got the
short end of the stick, while the one hitting the flat of the "T" was
relatively unscathed.

Aahhhh.....day 1 of owning land maggots....
