A flock of sheep are sporting a pretty pink look after a new feeder managed to dye their wool. Read more here:
The sheep's new do comes from a red feeder rubbing off on them, a farmer has saidThe Swiss Valais Blacknose have been rubbing themselves against the red feeder while eating, turning heads at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley."Visitors to the farm certainly do a double take when walking past," he said.
"We just bought a new feeder and we just noticed their wool was gradually getting pinker and pinker," Mr Nicholson said.The farmer initially thought it was his colleagues using spray markers "too enthusiastically", before realising the feeder was to blame.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.

What Halloween is like at the farm in the middle of the M62 - Jill ThorpHalloween has come and gone with little celebration from us. As children we would attend the odd party usually wearing a homemade costume, but being on the outskirts of a village at the top of a long steep hill, trick or treating never really reached our door. It would need to be a very determined trick or treater to trudge all the way out to Stott Hall. Getting past our Fort Knox style gate would deter most and those that decided to go through the creepy forest would definitely be spooked to death by the yelps, shrieks and hoots of the resident wildlife.
