There was slow traffic on the A31 due to sheep on the road earlier today.
The livestock were said to be between the A350 Poole Road (Roundhouse Roundabout) and Brickyard lane (Coventry Arms junction).
A spokesman for Dorset Police said they were called shortly after 10am and rescued the sheep from the carriageway.
Traffic is now flowing normally.
