Lovely shot, Paul. Congratulations. But I'm curious what the "." represents? Surely not the decimal place?!
Thanks Penny. not sure about the dot - possibly due to the farmer having so many sheep he has numbered one batch without dots and one with. I will ask the farmer next time I see him. Fortunately the field of sheep is in my village
Congrats on the Blue, Paul, well deserved. Fun thing is I was looking for numbers on sheep as well for this challenge, but here on Skye they only use coloured stains. Glad I didn't find them, no way to compete with the master :-)
Thanks Kees, I am sure those cute Scottish sheep would have given the Somerset sheep a run for their money.
I am always on the lookout for some sheep like these if you happen to have any like this?

This comes from an anecdote from my childhood. "Look dad, racing sheep!", was my reaction when i first saw marked sheep, from a train window. I don't recall the event, but it was told and re-told many times by my parents.
What awful animal abuse! (At least to some)
Did you hear about the high school pranksters that painted the numbers 1, 2, and 4 on three sheep and turned them loose in the high school? Yep, the staff spent most of the day looking for #3.
Great image.
