Description
This is an update to http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,19864.0.html as a final that includes an adjustment to the sheep population correcting their directional orientation; and, the addition of dust along the path.
First, resetting the 'a' and 'b' to 0/0 did the trick of getting almost all the sheep heading in one direction (except those at the upper part of the curve). This had to be remedied by editing each instance in the uppermost part of the curve by rotational adjustments.
When first trying to get all the sheep heading in the right direction, the outcome yielded the result of them heading south instead of north. This was fixed by testing the suggestions of Yossum and Dune where resetting the 'object' Y rotation to 180. I set it to 160 and the flock changed from south to north properly. And, thanks to Dune for the suggestion of adding some dust in the path of the sheep.
Much appreciated Ulco and Richard.

Veru cool the way you got them to point in the direction of the road! Very Nice Update, Bob!!!
Thank you Mark. Was able to squeeze this in between a lot of other work.
Looks more realistic now. Corrie
Thank you Corrie.
Actually, I think they look better if they are slightly skewed. These all have exactly the same pose as well. Just my suggestion.
Thanks Pat, you can't please everybody.
The picture is absolutely beautiful and well composed. I like the flock and dust that moves. All this does not even seems the fruit of a render but almost a photo. Congratulations for the beautiful work !!!!!!
