Z-Man apparently announced a July 9th release date, according to a post on BGG.
Here is the clarification of the rule in german:
Here they told us that one tile has no sheep watermark on it.
Z-Man is giving away a copy of Hills and Sheep in a Facebook contest.https://www.facebook.com/CarcassonneTheBoardGame?fref=nf
Tending the flock: Whenever a player places a tile that expands the field occupied by her own shepherd, she must choose one of two different actions (before she may place a follower according to the normal rules):• Grow the flock (draw another token from the bag) OR• Gather the flock (score points)
Zman Games has the English rule online:http://zmangames.com/rulebooks/Carcassonne_Exp9.pdfQuoteTending the flock: Whenever a player places a tile that expands the field occupied by her own shepherd, she must choose one of two different actions (before she may place a follower according to the normal rules):• Grow the flock (draw another token from the bag) OR• Gather the flock (score points)The sentence in bold could be read wrong.This is the correct way to read it:Turn sequence:1. place a tileexpand the field with placement of a new tile where the shepherd already stands.then2. place a follower - move woodmay place a follower (before the action of the shepherd takes place)then2-3. activate the Shepherds action - ScoringChoice to do one of the two actions3.

In reference to my above post, I have an official question for HiG: When placing a tile on a shepherd's field, you are allowed to place a follower as normal. Should this actually mean a figure? Or are builders and pigs not allowed to be played in this instance?

We have corrected the rules and posted a new version on our website. We thank everyone who noticed this error and hope that the new rules posted will help clear up the issue.
