I've taken the following from viralnewsmedianow's youtube description:
The owners of a shop were left gobsmacked when eighty sheep flocked to their store in an Austrian ski resort.
The ram-raiders drove the owners and perplexed shoppers baa-my when they invaded the shop in St Anton and caused thousands of pounds of damage.
A spokesman for the Intersport shop said: 'We think one of them saw its reflection in a mirror and came in to investigate'.
The spokesman added: 'And being sheep, of course the rest of them decided to follow'.
Negotiations are currently under way between lawyers and the owner of the sheep over the cost of damage to stock within the shop.

A flock of sheep took a wrong turn on their way down from their summer mountain pastures and ended up in an Austrian sports shop, local media reported Saturday.
One sheep saw its reflection in the glass sliding doors of the Intersport store in the western village of Sankt Anton am Arlberg and proceeded to enter, followed by the rest of the flock.
Amid much bleating, two shepherds managed to persuade the animals to leave, but not before they had caused a considerable amount of mess as they wandered around amid the bikes, shoes, skis and other sporting equipment on sale.
"The broke some of the sunglasses and left a lot of dirt. We had quite a clean-up to do," store manager Michael Ess, 42, told the Oesterreich daily. "I have never experienced anything like it."
