Sweet Sheep
A new road gritting procedure has proved popular with sheep in Wales.
Flintshire council in North Wales has started mixing molasses in with the salt they use to grit their roadways, because it’s an "environmentally friendly agricultural by-product" and helps the substance stick to the surface.
But free-roaming sheep have been licking it off like a tasty treat.
Elfed Evans, of Lixwm, said: "As soon as the gritter has passed they converge in their hundreds onto the roads to lick the free meal provided by the council.
"It is believed that the adjunct used to coat the rock salt contains molasses. The sheep quickly become intoxicated and addicted to the new sweet tasting salt."
