‘Brad’ The Sheep Continues To Outrun Rescuers, Spotted Sunday In Proctor

A missing sheep named Brad continues to be on the run in the Northland.

21st Avenue E. and Superior Street

It was spotted in Proctor on Sunday, but rescue crews and the police were not able to catch him.

Brad was also spotted in Hermantown and Duluth recently, including at 21st Avenue East and London Road.

The sheep was first spotted in Two Harbors two weeks ago.  Nobody has publicly claimed the sheep, and people like Shana Roberts, with the Two Harbors animal shelter, have been on a mission to rescue Brad.

Roberts told FOX 21 she was feet away from him in Two Harbors for hours while feeding him plenty of white bread.  Roberts even gave him his name.

“I named him Brad because, like, Braaaaad. I’m sure you figured that out on your own, but I thought it was the perfect name for him, and he’s definitely a boy,” Roberts explained.

“I was talking to him. I sat outside with him for four hours, and I was like, just trying to get him comfortable with me. So when help did show up at 4:30 that day, that he’d be comfortable. But unfortunately, help showed up and Brad left. He’s like, I’m going down the driveway, see you later,” Roberts said.

Duluth sighting

Roberts is hopeful Bran will stay in the area so she can have another try at rescuing him.  But she said Brad is one intelligent and independent sheep.

“He’s so smart … I think that’s what’s kept him going, to be honest. He knows what to do and the exact way to go to get away from us. We have fencing. We have boards, really long boards to block him, but he knows right where to go to get away,” Roberts said.

If you spot Brad the Sheep out and about, Roberts said it’s best to call your local law enforcement agency and let him be.   You can also text Roberts with pictures, locations and direction of travel at (612) 616-1214.

Roberts said it’s a great idea to leave plenty of white bread out of him, as that seems to be his favorite.

The hope is to get Brad comfortable on a property to possibly make it easier to capture.

Foster homes are already set up for his arrival if he is taken into so-called custody.
