A flock of about 50 sheep escaped from their owner while being herded and took a shopping trip to a nearby supermarket in Germany.
A video taken at the Penny supermarket in Burgsinn, Lower Franconia, shows dozens of sheep flooding into the store through the front doors, causing chaos inside the store and leaving a trail of destruction and poop in their wake.
Local police confirmed the incident.
Shepherd Dieter Michler said the sheep had broken away from a larger flock he had been herding through the area en route to the Sinn River.
Michler said the sheep had apparently been distracted by acorns on the ground in the store’s parking lot, and then went inside in search of more snacks.
He said the sheep were safely reunited with the rest of the flock.
“When I arrived, they were already out of the store — and now they’re back with the flock,” Michler told the Main-Post newspaper.
