When the lambs grew up they moved out of the yard, but after a while the crafty old fox noticed that few of the lambs went to live at the cliff. Almost all seemed to want to live at the river, which was getting too crowded. Then the fox realized that a small flock of lambs lived among the sheep at the cliff, and he decided that when lambs grew up to be sheep they didn't want to live with other lambs.

First the fox and now the bear were trying to change their lives around without even asking them. So the sheep formed the SACC--sheep against core consumption--and marched down to Roso's den to complain, but he growled a little and promised he would only make next year's sheep eat cores, so they went home...

...sheep thought of the black sheep in Aparkside, and got upset, and thought of how the council ignored the fact that they had all asked for Vard to sell its rocks in Aparkside but they didn't, and then they thought of how the fox and the bear and the duck always ignored what they wanted, and they got very upset. So they got together and formed the United Flock, and marched on Derek the Duck's own pond, and baaaaed loudly and sang black sheep songs, and asked Derek to come out and discuss the rocks with them...
