After receiving numerous complaints....
From Horny's friends, family, workplace and generally all the living creatures in the area..
There was evidence gathered of antisocial behaviour, puncture wounds, bruising, and public disorder
2 options remained....
1: An asbo
or 2..........

Sorry Horny..... :innocent:

You forgot option 3 :yum: :yum: :yum:
Be careful hun, the headgear won't stop a persistant offender (though it looks kind of cute!)
Are you getting biffed? or is it just flock mates?
-
I love the headgear :D
What's he been up to?
-
Its mostly just flock mates, he is my only horned one and he is a rig so fights everyone else including the charrolais ram I am borrowing
The reason for the head gear is that in confined spaces he goes mad and everyone gets stabbed, I have him and 6 others off to "the seaside" (as I call it) in the morning :yum:
So hoping it just lasts the night/trailer journey and will take it off when at the abbatiour in the morning
-
It looks just like handle bars on a bike! :idea:
I knew it reminded me of something ;D

Well done! I always worry about snarky sheep! One of my wethers was intended to be a fleece animal, but he has decided to start trying to throw his (tiny amount of) weight around. He's booked in for next Monday ::) I reckon he will give joints just right for one! But as it's only me eating him I guess that'll be just fine :yum:
-
Yes I do love my sheep but if someone is naughty then they can go!
His head gear is made of one of these cut in half

You can compensate the dog by sharing a joint with him when Horny comes back from the seaside ;)

:roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim:
Mental images here!
Does he squeak when he biff's you now?
I am sniggering so much my husband thinks I've gone round the twist :roflanim: :roflanim:
-
:roflanim: :roflanim: Most ingenious. Very practical too - you don't want him bruising all the other sheep in the bus.

Writing out their bus tickets as I speak :innocent:
Dog can have a bone but deffo not any meat lol,
