Funnily enough I was driving home with the mrs from a meal tonight and met a mixed mob of 14 cattle running up the middle of the road, in the dark.

Que, some furious / calm cattle driving and we had them corralled in someones garden . . . . who wasn't too impressed!

And then proceeded to wake up every local farmer . . . . immmm excuse me sir, sorry to disturb you. . . . but are you missing some cows? haha.

A good length of blue alcathene pipe is very useful when encouraging cows to go back where they came from.  I've shifted a good few over the years using that method - a wee tap on a back leg hurries them up too, but make sure you are fleet of foot.  :roflanim:

Daughter has a book too 'There's a cow in the cabbage patch, what are we going to do?' - carries on with all the animals in the wrong place. Answer: give them all their dinner, then they'll all go home.

so eldest daughter and I sat making daisy chain hair bands for the sheep whilst watching him.  All good fun.

Your not taking this sheep farming seriously are you?

so do the sheep eat their crowns or just wander round in them?
