On July 28, an unusual scene unfolded at Zhuofu Grassland in Xueshan Town, Weining County, Guizhou: a flock of sheep began circling around a herd of cattle, completely surrounding them and leaving the cows unable to move.

According to eyewitnesses, the bizarre behaviour lasted about five to six minutes before the sheep’s owner arrived and drove them away, finally freeing the trapped cattle.

Sheep are typically disorganised and tend to move erratically, but once one leading sheep takes action, the rest often follow blindly without hesitation—regardless of potential dangers ahead or better grazing options nearby. This behaviour is commonly referred to as the “herd mentality.”

7月28日，贵州威宁雪山镇灼甫草场上发生了稀奇一幕，一群羊围绕着一群牛转起圈来，牛群被羊群死死包围起来，寸步难行。

目击者介绍，整个过程持续了五六分钟，最后羊群主人到场驱赶，才帮助牛群解围。

羊群是一种很散乱的组织，平时在一起也是盲目地左冲右撞，但一旦有一只头羊动起来，其他的羊也会不假思索地一哄而上，全然不顾前面可能有狼或者不远处有更好的草，通常这种现象被称为“羊群效应”。
