Sheep

Some sounds take some getting used to, and after a while, you tune out because they become a part of everyday life.

Maybe when this year's Eastern Idaho State Fair kicks off in early September you can find this sheep and drop some zingers on it yourself.

The Trailing of the Sheep Festival is a yearly tradition in Sun Valley where you can literally watch hundreds of sheep parading through the city streets. The entire festival is a celebration of Basque culture that helped shape the area.

A south Idaho farmer just lost thousands of dollars worth of livestock following attacks by at least two area bald eagles. The incident happened earlier this week just east of Twin Falls.

I was caught by surprise when a massive creature darted across the road.

Despite judgement from all sides, Idaho continues to be awesome. Who cares if we have occasional dairy-air, really weird names for some towns, or an oddly large number of classic cars.

It's obvious that the Trailing of The Sheep Festival in Ketchum is unlike anything else. Even Oprah says it's one of the 20 best fall festivals in the United States.

The changes are mainly technical but there are also differences in shepherds.

A group of sheep met the front end of a vehicle Wednesday morning in Blaine County while the driver was traveling on Highway 20.

Or, could this be a sheep jacking in progress?

Federal scientists say a four-year study involving nearly 120 guard dogs imported from Europe and Asia found the animals do well protecting sheep from wolves and better than traditional guard dogs deterring coyotes.

It's that time of year. You knew it was coming. But, it's still kinda startling to head out on the morning commute and end up being behind them. I'm talking about sheep.
