Hundreds of escaped sheep were pictured blocking a bypass in the early hours of the morning - after a country gate was left open.
Around 220 pregnant ewes were spotted on the A-road after they escaped.
Farmer Edward Albutt says he got a call around 3 am on Sunday telling him half his flock was blocking the A38 bypass.
He is part of generational farmers who run the Tewkesbury Nature Reserve, Gloucestershire.
He told the BBC: "Thankfully no traffic was coming at the time because it could have been catastrophic.''
The sheep were returned safely after an hour of herding.
