My sister trained as a vet a few years back - she hated sheep with a passion. Apparently, if they get wet and fall over, they die, mainly because they're too heavy to pick themselves up again. She said they die quite easily, all things considered. Woolly suicide machines, she called them... |

Had an 'incident' this morning. Ewe got caught in brambles, when I freed her she shot off down the field and dived under one of my 40 foot containers that spans a stream, and got herself wedged between the bank and bottom of the container. I crawled in to pull her out, whereupon she charged off into my neighbours field straight into a deep ditch. I jumped in to pull her out, and sank into ooze over my knees - managed to shove her up the bank, then had a major struggle to extract myself. Wellington boots deeply in soft mud with lots of suction, I literally had to claw myself up the bank. Ewe survived but not sure about me :bugeye: |

Makes a wool sweater seem like a lot of work! |
| NormanV:
Yeah, but the chops are nice! |
| awemawson:
Chops are over rated in my book - too much of a struggle to extricate the meat from the bone and fat. Give me a nice leg or shoulder any day - and preferably mutton rather than lamb as it has a better flavour. :thumbup: |
