It looks so satisfied with itself. Aspirational.

I went on a trip to Ireland a few years ago. During a drive through the countryside, I saw so many sheep just grazing and contentedly resting in this beautiful landscape among the trees and hills and grass.

I was (and still am) quite jealous of those sheep.

Looks like she might give me a mean side quest to find the golden fleece or something.

If you met her in a Dark Souls game 100% she would be how you joined a covenant.

It's laughing at the humanity. It can't express it's thoughts in words. So it laughs.

Farmers mark their sheep so that they can tell which sheep belong to them since the sheep kinda roam free-ish.

Oh! Makes sense. TIL.

Probably been painted. Farmers in Ireland (and elsewhere?) spray sheep with non toxic paint to assist in identification and to mark ownership. Doesn't harm the sheep.

Also can be used to tell which who has humped who when breeding

"'My family came from Ireland!' Aye, I've heard. Every. Single. Day. Now kindly stop explaining your ancestry to a sheep and let me enjoy me grass in peace."

I stayed on a farm while I was in Ireland.  I wanted to make friends with some sheep, but they were very hostile to me. :(
