Yep, that's right - sheep even get in the newspapers. I've created an online scrapbook. If you spot anything in your paper about sheep, please send it to me if you can so it can be added below.

FARMERS TURN HOME INTO NOAH'S ARK
9:21 Thursday 2 November 2000
A farming couple from Wales have turned their home into a modern day Noah's Ark by opening up their home to 130 sheep and 20 water buffalo calves in a bid to save them from the floods.
Liz and Tony Dawson have been playing host to their animals in Llandrinio, Powys, for two days and they expect them to stay until the weekend at least.
The animals are being looked after in five downstairs rooms of the couple's home, although a neighbour who was helping out said some of the sheep kept going upstairs and eating bits of wallpaper.
"Basically it was wall-to-wall muck on the floor. But with all the water across the Axminster carpet, things couldn't get much worse," said vet Liz.
"It's like Noah's Ark. We can hear them bleating in the night. They don't seem the slighest bit perturbed. They'll probably get used to the good life. Goodness knows what it will cost to clean up," added Liz.
