Running of the Sheep — instead of the Bulls?

Dear DMC,

This week I’ve been watching the “Running of the Bulls” in Spain on TV. Shame on me. It’s not a suitable sport for a Dull Man like me.

I hear about something that would be a fine subsitute: “Running of the Sheep.” I’ll roundup information about such events.

Here’s what I’ve found so far, it’s from Reed Point, Montana, it’s actually calming to watch, far better for a Dull Man to watch:
