HINTS:
SOLUTION:
  1. Notice the words "sheepishly", "flock", and "herd"
  2. Look up breeds of sheep. The website http://www.ansi.okstate.edu is the easiest Google solution.
  3. Anagram each section of blocks to a breed of sheep. You will have one letter and a bunch of spaces left over:
    1. STCROIX, 2 spaces, leftover C
    2. KATAHDIN, 1 space, leftover I
    3. DORPER, 3 spaces, leftover O
    4. BARBADO, 2 spaces, leftover R
    5. WILTSHIRE, 0 spaces, leftover L
    6. MERINO, 3 spaces, leftover N
    7. RABOLARGO, 0 spaces, leftover G
    8. SHETLAND, 1 space , leftover A
    9. BALWEN, 3 spaces, leftover A
    10. MOUFLON, 2 spaces, leftover L
    11. AFRICANA, 1 space , leftover C
    Obviously CIORLNGAALC is not the answer.
  4. Arrange the assembled rows. You'll need the pictures now, for the matching nubs and notches. There are 4 types, flat, square, pointed, and downward.
    • You'll need to get the spacing right. This is easier to do as you go.
    • solution (note [] means empty block):
      RABOLARGOG
      MERINO[][][]N
      [] KATAHDINI
      WILTSHIREL
      [][] MOUFLONL
      DORPER[][][]O
      [][] STCROIXC
      [] SHETLANDA
      BARBADO[][]R
      [] BALWEN[][]A
      AFRICANA[]C
  5. Arrange the left over letters in the order that the corresponding rows go together. This gives you the answer, CARACOLLING.
