I have a rancher aquaintance that told me he has actually seen eagles attack sheep by flying towards them and running them until the sheep are over-tired.

Then the eagle will separate one sheep from the rest and attack the back of the neck with a single attack that usually breaks the spine.

The eagle feasts until full and leaves the rest for the remainder of the food-chain to consume.

Ever see this type of thing or was this guy pulling my chain?

Yep, They will usually just sit on the tired sheep's back, removing flesh for a few days while it walks around and bleeds to death or dies from sepsis.
