It’s strictly a one way system! I tend to sweep around the ewes with a wide cast like a dog would before starting to snack and have a few drops down before they catch up. Manage to avoid too much confrontation that way so no problem even with two trailers.

No I wasn’t there, but nephew Fergus was the piper . Hope he charges plenty , he’s getting good at it!
Were you at Ayr on Sunday or did they manage the bicentennial without you? I assume that was a junior Shorty playing the pipes?/

That's more like it. I made up my first 3 pens this morning ....
