Have any Irish posters any advice on what to do with an abandoned puck left at our gate.  :(

I don't know which side of Wicklow you are but maybe these guys might be able to help or if not point you in the direction of someone who could?

Thanks all for your interest. The poor (very stinky) fellow was collected by the WWSPCA., who said they would be in touch with an update on his progress.

FrostyM, Bees are a great addition to a smallholding. The more people keeping bees the better. Make sure to join a beekeeping group, even before you get them.

Thanks again.

That makes sense now. I thought a puck was one of those things they play ice hockey with and couldn't work out why it was in the goat section.  :dunce:
