[Blackbelly] Jumping Sheep

[blueberryfarm]

How high can these critters jump?  We have had severe weather the last 
few days with much thunder and lightning.  One young ewe (7 months) has 
appeared outside my fence 3 times in the last two days (the same ewe on 
each occasion).  The last time, there was no weather disturbance that 
might have scared her.  I walked the entire fence and find no holes. 
There is one section of the fence that is only about 3 feet high, the 
rest being 5 feet.  Do I have a particularly athletic ewe?
