My west coast brother tells me that today is "Hug a Sheep Day." Since he and his spouse raise sheep as well as goats, that's really not a difficulty for them. Of course getting sheep to stand still long enough to be hugged might be a bit of a problem. Lucky for all involved today is also "World Pasta Day."
If luring them to your side with pasta doesn't work, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't, it's also "National Greasy Food Day." I really don't know if sheep like greasy food but their wool is oily to the touch because of the lanolin so I would think they do like greasy food. Maybe I could ask my brother to test them with bacon or sausage.
One more thought about sheep. When I was a toddler the first stuffed toy I remember having was a stuffed sheep called Lambkins. Interestingly, it was covered in light blue leather, not wooly at all. That is the only sheep I have ever hugged or ever plan to.
But I am planning to eat some greasy pizza for supper. I like mine made with olive oil instead of tomato paste. Slippery but delicious.
