The preferred age of the photographs is one year, fair enough. One problem is that the "social distancing" of the pandemic started one year ago, so people havent't perhaps taken so much "sheep pictures", but let's hope for the best.
(Personally I was only able to take pictures further away from home January - February 2020, mostly winter pictures. And after that only in nearby areas during walks, with no sheep)
Anyway, an interesting challenge, hopefully we will see much sheep, (but hopefully not fall asleep when counting them :) :)

Sheep, no goats please...hilarious :):):)
Maybe provide a link to Wikipedia for those who don't know the difference ?
BTW, love those additional rules.

honestly, it's sometimes really difficult to tell the difference...apparently it's all about the ears ! thanks for your lovely pair. they look like typical ugly belgian sheep - never seen such ugly animals as around here !!!
