In the end we did leave the sheep alone, and they didn't come home again. But the farmer did round up his sheep and singled ours out in the yards and we picked them up a few days later.
After wintering in the paddocks with the farmers sheep they didn't look well at all. We only got 4 of our 5 sheep back, but one had a ewe lamb so we are back to where we were last year. They were skinny (not sure why, there was plenty of feed) with runny noses and sneezy. They have been home for about a week now and seem to be getting better.
Now all we need is a ram before February next year and hopefully a good season next year
