SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Holy Sheep!

Yesterday morning, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers wrangled over 300 sheep that broke loose from their pen and decided to take a trip down Mountain Drive in Santa Barbara.

The fluffy wanderers caused an unique traffic jam, likely just on the hunt for some grass to munch on.

CHP detailed in a playful post how officers were able to help the owner get the sheep back home, and luckily, "everyone is baaahck to their normal routine."
