Unlike smart farmers (who use numbers), we name our livestock. This one was "Bo", short for Rambo. Being a sheep, he was too dumb to come when called, but he knew enough to run to us when he heard the sound of the grain bin being opened. And, even if he wasn't smart enough to know his name, he had a place in our hearts . . . that small but special place reserved for animals that are a little dim-witted and occasionally smell bad.
Why he died, we don't know. Sheep are funny that way. Sometimes, they just seem to lose the will to live. One day, they are sitting when the rest of the herd are standing or lagging behind when the rest of the herd comes to the barn. The next day, they are either doing better or dead.
