I'll be in the barn!
we moved our sheep to a new pasture and they were going crazy last night we had to take them to their old barn because the one tried tho get out and almost hurt herself what can we do??? ::) need to know right away! They seem fine In the pasture until we choose then in at night...please help!
 
It sounds like the change in environment panicked them. They were fine eating there but when night came the felt lost and cut off from their "home" so to speak. You could try herding them back and forth between the new pasture and the old one until they get more comfortable in their new surroundings.

Warning, I'm not a sheep person so this might be a completely silly answer but I ran into a similar problem with my goats once, it is all just a matter of getting them acclimated to the idea that the new field is their new home. :)
