Yes Sunday night we heaped them up on the farm roadside it looked a quite impressive effort
Sadly the wagon was here by 8 am so not long enough to upset the neighbours

Have you never farmed Herdwicks? I can assure you, they are definitely the problem. Drop them in 4 inches of Cheshire dairy grass, fully sheep fenced and the twits will climb the gate and slip through the top two bars to escape
It takes a certain sort of nut job to love sheep.there must be money in sheep , cus the grief on here and what i see on you tube you lot must be mad

Someone else’s swam a decent river to get in with a bunch of my blackies. We were laughing about it and saying “well it serves you right for buying bloody herdwicks”
A week later a ruck arrived here on a wagon

It is on wetter bits of the field right enough, sticks out as they haven’t grazed it as hard as other bits .
Thought I should maybe start a golf course with my Kentucky Blue grass !

I’m thinking of getting rid of mules and getting shedders, at least then I won’t have the biggest best sheep looking sheep in the flesh house.
