Moral - never feed a swaley from a round bucket:
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

It seems horned sheep don't even need a fence to get themselves tangled up.  Our senior Heb tup, the chap who is my avatar, managed to get a back leg stuck through his side horn today.  My OH spotted him leaning up against the shelter apparently standing on 3 legs.  He must have been scratching his ear I suppose and could get his leg in but not back out.  ::) :sheep:

lol

our hebridean got his horns caught around the telephone pole support wire and took absolutely ages, and a few crushed fingers, to get him free. great donut!
