Possible new vocation?

Wilson, as is his right, has been grazing his sheep on Uckfield's Hempstead Meadow alongside the railway line. I was quite relieved to find it was just a single sheep, but when I questioned him about where he had got it from, he told me not to worry as he had 'just borrowed it from a sheep farmer'. I wonder whether the farmer knows that he's lent Wilson a sheep.
I tried explaining to Wilson that just because he could do a thing didn't mean he had to do it, but he riposted that sheep herding and grazing might be his new vocation. 'It just depends how I get on with the sheep.'
