Sheep On The Roof, A Hilarious Surprise
The NY Post reports that the homeowner, Kristen Jackson, was in bed with her partner when she heard a strange noise on the roof. The noise was loud and echoed within the house.

Upon seeing the sheep, Kristen told the NY Post, "I just burst out laughing because it was kind of hilarious." She returned to the house and grabbed her partner, not wanting him to miss this unique experience. She stated, "He came out and turned around and was just shocked.

While most roofs are inaccessible to sheep, the homeowner explains how these sheep got on her roof. The home is partially submerged in a hillside. The herd snuck through a fence earlier in the morning. Then, they went to the hillside and used it to clamber up onto the roof.
While various farm animals, such as cows and sheep, are a common sighting on the road, this was the homeowner's first time with them on her roof. Kristen admitted that she was surprised when the sheep went down the driveway, through the fencing, and onto the roof.
However, these fluffy farm animals quickly spooked and made their way off the homeowner's roof. While Kristen thought the entire encounter was funny, she mentioned that she would be making adjustments to the home and the fencing to ensure this type of event never happens again.
