Well we all know the question of if a tree falls in the wood and there is no one around to hear it does it make a sound.... Well I pose another and shall answer it with a picture. (anyone with sheep will see the answer coming)
If a tree falls in an empty field what animal baring twins will be there to catch it?????

My first reaction to your post, as a fellow sheep farmer, was to put a ‘haha’ smiley.
Then I saw that nobody else had and I felt guilt and shame for thinking such a thing.

Nah, not really. Being able to laugh at the feckin’ eejits is surely the only thing that keeps us sane(‘ish)?

Thank you for posting, it made I smile.👍

Totally agree I think if we have to laugh or we would spend all day crying as I by no means think I am the best sheep farmer there is but spend alot of time trying to keep them alive and they go and do something like that.
Also I think I may have to take this to government level as they are so intent on planting farms under trees I don't think they have searously considered the animal welfare issue trees potentially cause to a sheep.
