Teen Ropes Runaway Sheep After 45 Days
15 Nov
Summary
- A 14-year-old girl captured a sheep that had been on the run for 45 days.
- The rescue involved a community effort organized via Facebook.
- A skilled 14-year-old rider and her horse were instrumental in the capture.
A remarkable rescue operation concluded after 45 days when a persistent sheep was finally brought to safety. The effort, spearheaded by Rebecca Roxberry of Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary, involved extensive community participation. An organized Facebook event, "Catching the Wadsworth Sheep," aimed to coordinate efforts to safely capture the American Blackbelly sheep.
On November 11th, 2026, 14-year-old Reagan Crumpler, with the invaluable assistance of her 18-year-old horse, Catalena, successfully lassoed the elusive animal. This decisive moment ended the sheep's month-long escape across Ohio. The successful capture brought immense relief and joy to the sanctuary, volunteers, and the wider community who had been invested in the sheep's well-being.
