Local sheep prefer evenings out over targeted grazing
Local sheep prefer evenings out over targeted grazing
2026-09-23
Yesterday evening around 8pm, cars were stuck at intersections in Xiluo Township of Yunlin due to a sheep jam. You heard that right. Sheep. A landowner borrowed a flock of sheep to clear the weeds in an open area, but the sneaky sheep had slipped through the cracks in the fence and decided to clock off work early. Local residents quickly banded together to capture the animals.
The sky is dark, but bright fluffy clouds are seen on the road. These are actually sheep who don’t want to go home.
- Xiluo Night Market is here.
Going inside the market
- Go left. Go left.
On Tuesday evening in Yunlin County, sheep suddenly appeared on Fulai Road in Xiluo Township. Who let the sheep out? Local residents also wondered this as they quickly alerted the relevant authorities to help find the owner. They banded together using messaging groups to help capture the sheep.
-They’re over there!

Concerned about sheep
You have to grab the sheep, tighten the reins around its neck quickly and stop it from escaping. What else can you do?

Likes to eat lamb
I brought my daughter to see what sheep look like before they are cooked, hahahaha.

Great sense of humor
This is hilarious. Has anyone called the police?
It was later revealed that a landscaper borrowed the flock to graze on overgrown grass in some open areas. Unfortunately, the sheep were uninterested in working and followed their leader towards Xiluo Night Market for an exciting night on the town.

The sheep are still on the road, let’s surround them, once rounded off, we can slowly approach.

Eager to catch sheep
Help us round them, help us catch them!
It took dozens of people more than an hour to round up the runaway sheep and load them in a small truck. Local residents joked that the activity was “more tiring than a sports meet.” Using sheep for targeted grazing and weed control is sustainable, but perhaps the fluffy creatures are more interested in becoming traffic police than landscapers.

不想上班! 羊群鑽圍籬縫隙落跑 民眾花1小時圍捕
2026-09-23
雲林西螺鎮福來路一處，22日晚間8點多，路上出現一群羊逛大街。一名地主原本借來10幾隻羊幫忙吃草除草，結果羊群從圍籬縫隙鑽出，沿路散步。民眾透過通訊軟體群組號召大家協助圍捕！
天黑黑，看到小小羊兒不是要回家，而是沿著馬路逛大街，民眾紛紛好奇探看。
- 西螺夜市到了
往夜市進去
-往左 往左
乖
22日晚間，雲林西螺鎮福來路突然出現羊咩咩，一整群的佔滿路面，誰家的羊落跑了?發現的民眾趕緊通知里長和民代協尋主人，並從通訊軟體群組號召大家化身牧羊人，協助圍捕。
- 跑到那邊去了
咩~~~
[[熱心民眾]]
“就是往羊身上抓住，然後脖子一勒就趕快抓，不讓牠跑掉啊，不然怎麼辦”
[[民眾]]
“就帶妹妹來，看羊咩咩清蒸紅燒前是什麼樣子，哈哈哈”
[[民眾]]
“滿好笑的，而且趕快就是有人報警”
事後了解，是一名地主，原本向人商借10幾隻羊，到空地來幫吃雜草，結果來幫忙吃草除草的羊，不想當"打工"，跟著領頭羊，從圍籬縫隙鑽了空開溜，直往西螺夜市奔去。
[[民眾]]
“羊還在路上，那我們先把牠圍住，圍住的話，再慢慢趕進去裡面”
[[民眾]]
“幫忙圍捕啊，幫忙追啊”
幾十個人花了1個多小時，圍捕落跑羊，終於將10多隻羊全數趕回、關上小貨車。畢竟不是專業，居民七手八腳，笑稱"比運動會還累"。以羊吃草除草相當環保，只是原本要當除草工的羊群變成落跑羊逛大街，引起一陣騷動。
