If it wasn't for the clumps of wool nearby I might have thought this was once a baby dinosaur! The pertinent question is why has this sheep only got two legs?! Does the farmer's dog have a thing for sheep forelegs, or do they for some unknown reason fetch a big price on the black market? As is often the case, I will just file this under 'mysteries of the countryside' and hope to be educated in due course!
