Too true!!!From my experiences they are all escape artist. If they are content they will remain in their pen, if they aren't they can be hard to stop sometimes. Goats always keep me thinking.
Sheep don't always do well as an "only sheep", but some are OK with it. Some breeds though are pretty herd-oriented. Before you bring home a single sheep, make sure you can switch it out, if it's utterly miserable and not happy without other sheep. OR just get two! You'll have a whole farm in no time!
I used to raise Jacob sheep and those can have 4 horns. They are a primitive breed and not what most people expect in a sheep. So do some research on the breed that this sheep is... if it's a Churro, my experience with them is they are more "sheepy" than a Jacob. Jacobs are more "goaty" IME.
And.... Jacobs are really freaking smart, for a sheep. You have to handle them differently than you might expect; mine all came to me when I called them and would follow me. However they could be difficult to herd. They could figure out what was going on and sometimes just would not cooperate.
In my experiences with goats they are near impossible to please. If given a chance a goat would be perfectly happy sitting on a throne waiting for all it's food to be brought to it. Than it would throw half of it on the ground saying it wasn't good enough.Found the goats in the "forbidden" area again last night. I gave up and just plugged up the holes in the fencing that they could get through in the "forbidden" area and left it. They were perfectly happy munching on all the stuff in there instead of all the stuff in their own area! GAH.
Espresso was perfectly happy walking behind me. McDerp would bolt if I even made a noise. So Espresso should be relatively easy to lead with food if he needs to go to another area, McDerp I may need to hog tie...
