    A good idea

    Was at a farm yesterday and he’s having trouble with orf in his lambs so he’s bought 4 plastic kids sledges put some rock salt in them and put them out in the fields if he needs to move them he just hooks the sledge to the back of the quad and of he goes . I thought it a real good idea
