A flock of sheep have been left sporting a hair-raising new look after an accident involving some paint and a feeder. The new look was created after their sheep feeder was painted red at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Every time the sheep rubbed their heads on it while eating, the paint would come off in their wool on their heads.
Hilarious photos show the group of Swiss Valais sheep, which should have white heads and black faces, with the shock hair style. They have now been left with a pink hairdo, and snaps taken by staff at the farm show the sheep stood in their pen showing off their new look.
"We use markers on the wool for when they’ve had medicine or anything like that. So when I first saw them, I assumed that some of the other farmers had been marking them and they had marked their heads."
“我们会在羊毛上做记号，用来标记它们是否吃过药之类的。所以我第一次看到它们时，还以为其他农民在它们头上做了标记。”
He said: "We’ve never had anything like this happen before. We got them a new creep feeder in a jolly red colour and suddenly started to notice their fleece turning pink as they rubbed against it to get the food."
但是农场主却高兴不起来，还觉得非常奇怪。
他说道，这些毛茸茸的羊不太可能在短时间内恢复到原来的毛色。“这种羊一年剪两次毛。大概在喂食器上的油漆被磨掉之前，它们会一直都是粉红色的。”
The woolly farm animals are unlikely to go back to their original colour any time soon, he added. "They're a type of sheep that get sheared twice a year. I don't think it'll stop until the paint wears off the feeder, so they will be pink for a little while."
