Six sheep have escaped their home near Falls Township.

According to the owner’s friend, Brynn Posavec, who posted on a Facebook community groups Tuesday morning, they are still missing.

Two of the sheep are black and four are white. They believe the sheep escaped their 15-acre fenced enclosure late last night or early this morning, Posavec said. Sheep were spotted near Warrington on Tuesday morning.

“There’s a flock of sheep in my backyard!” a Facebook user posted around 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. Warrington is about 25 miles west of Falls Township.

Neighbors quickly shared the lost sheep news in other area community groups. One neighbor saw only five sheep, not six, Posavec said, but they are hoping to find the whole flock. “We’re hoping they’re all traveling together.”

The sheep likely won’t approach humans, Posavec said, unless they have grain in their hand.

The owner and friends have been out searching for the sheep for several hours with their dogs, Posavec said.

There are about 100,000 sheep in Pennsylvania, according to a 2020 USDA census.
