Pykies or gypoes…. A farmer would take the fencer too


Which means the gypo/pikie is smarter.


If you take the fencer, the owner may not replace it - they might just put up proper fencing...



But if you steal just the battery you can always come back again and again... because they'll probably more than likely just replace the battery

A9 horrid tonight “North of Perth”. Surely not just everyone trying to buy a cheap hay feeder for sheep.

Hay feeders look cheap, think it was £25 and £35 each. List is all up on web site. Loads of unsold items. Gives price for an instant buy.
If that delay is Dunkeld, the lights were supposed to be off by early afternoon.

They were last week, when I went through this morning they had all the tarmac still to put down.

Been over to Barton, 6 sheep are out. That’s odd as they’ve been there for weeks and been no trouble. SOME pansy HAS NICKED THE barsteward BATTERIES!!!! Anyone know the best place to get those secure fence boxes that you can liven up?
A few years ago I put an electric fence up our newly laid hedge by the road. Battery was nicked. Two years later someone don’t know who dropped it back at another road gate same exact battery flat as sh!t.

Apparently qms do fight these kind of things. So I was told they go into schools and try and change minds.

Hopefully we keep following the EU lead...feels like a bit of common sense at last and a small victory - maybe a bit of realisation behind the scenes where food comes from.

Why bother watching? All you do is raise your blood pressure.
