According to this Twitter update, farm animals are super in right now amongst the skinny jean set. The witness twote, "I just saw a hipster walking a sheep on Bedford Ave. So hot right now!" People, please take photos next time.

UPDATE: The sheep has been photographed... but sadly it looks like it's an "employee" of the Party Pets company, and not part of some hipster rooftop farm. So, um, who was partying with a sheep so early in the morning?

stupid people, first puppy mill toy dogs and now sheep.

No photo = didn't happen. Is this a news site or isn't it?

No, this is not a news site. This is a blog written by a bunch of children who live in Williamsburg and still get rent checks from their parents who live on the UWS.

Probably get their rent checks from Gothamist LLC.

was this in sheepshead bay by any chance?

That was weak, even for a Monday morning.

Almost everyone has a cellphone with a camera these days. Good camera are small enough to carry around all the time. There's no excuse for not supplying a supporting photo to the statement unless it never happened. I'm not saying it didn't happen, only that would be a good excuse for not supplying a photo.

I'm hung up on the word 'twote'.

Can one tweet on something they observe, thereby becoming a "twitness?" "I Twitnessed a sheep on bedford ave"

the infatuation with Williamsburg has to end sometime...

yes, lets talk about astoria or the upper west side or pelham park or.. ::yawn::

ummm your sarcasm is as weak as this story

sorry.. i'll just stick to complaining about daily williamsburg articles.

Maybe you should just stick to trolling around...

How is this news?
There are plenty of sheep living in WillyB.
;)

aha, i see what you did there. +1

poor sheep is used as a prop. on the back of truck has "partypets" sticker.

Prop or shwarma: ask the sheep what it prefers.

Isn't there laws against buggery?

jen c. posts the most interesting news items.
also, exclamation point.

Late and lame. I saw a guy walking a hog one night in Clinton Hill approx. four years ago.

So apparently man = hipster now.

A hipster with mutton chops that smells like shit? Next!

Super lame. So now all these assholes from the midwest gotta bring their livestock with them to the 'big city'? Oh wait I forgot, they are hillbilly transplants, that's his girl/boyfriend.

I thought we were calling hipsters "marshmellow's" now??

Damn! Can you please keep it straight?!

The word hipster has officially lost all definition.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.
