Shepherds don’t usually use fancy terms. They’ll just say, “The sheep are over there.” But historically, they had slang for everything. For example, a group of rams (male sheep) is a ram flock, and a group of ewes is a ewe flock. Shocking, I know.
But the best secret word? A group of sheep that is lying down is called a camp. Yes, sheep have camps. They’re basically fluffy, four-legged campers without the tents.
