Sam and Randy, you may want to read this and remember it. I found this in National Geographic and thought of you 2 right away.
Smarts: Sheep recognize individual faces and remember them long-term.
Tell sheep they all look alike, and they may beg to differ. Like primates, sheep, in studies, recognize different faces (10 humans) and still know them two years later. They are calmed by familiar faces and can tell both happy and angry expressions (they prefer the former). These are sophisticated abilities in an animal not widely known for smarts, says Babraham Institute's Keith Kendrick.
