The human brain is an astonishing thing, capable of amazing feats.
Take this sheep farmer, who claims he can identify, as individuals, his whole flock of sheep. He knows each one, despite the fact that they aren’t even given names.
Macdonald Hastings arrives to put him to the test with some woolly imposters. But he soon discovers the farmer may be able to tell sheep apart, but he isn’t nearly as good as recognising BBC presenters…

I've seen a couple of videos in which the sheep in the field recognise their shepherd's voice in the distance, but this is the first video I've seen regarding good shepherds recognising their own flock. You certainly can't pull the wool over their eyes!

Over in the USA, this clip appeared in cinema newsreels - accompanying films from 20th Century Flocks and Ewe-niversal.

All those animals and people are likely dead now. This is better than a reminiscence from these people if they told the story. It’s important to have this archive.

This dude knows his inventory. It’s his living. I’m not surprised. My wife knows the serial # of every unit she has at work. It’s impressive, but the motivation is to do a good job & feeding your family. It’s a business too.

Sheep look as different from each other as humans do. We only think we're distinctive because we have a special part of the brain for processing faces. With enough practice people can easily tell the difference between animals of the same species.

Our test of sheep all looked different to me. If you see your sheep every day I'm sure you would recognise them. 🇬🇧

No Kidding I used to love listening to radio Yorkshire,(BBC radio 4). I was only 3 before I went to school, hearing the accents all talk about the price of wool...then starting school & learning Ba-ba black sheep.

Interesting the way he had to get behind them to recognise them 😆👀
