[QUOTE="Al R, post: 4131206, member: 7565"] If someone was going to have to go to the hassle of keeping and looking after the sheep, regardless of 10 or 100 they would buy their own if they had the land! Their not just animals you leave in a field and that's it! They need daily checking, shearing, insecticide put on, wormed, vitamin Drench or bolus, sometimes foot trimming? Then you need a ram which needs to be kept separate all year apart from mating. Then there's the whole problems with lambing etc. Personally I've got a big grudge against small flocks as the sheep are "left to it" all year on wet ground or poor ground that they won't put their precious horses on or they need the sheep to keep the grass short for the horses so the horses don't get to fat yet the sheep are starving, covered in scab and lice etc and are just bones with long feet! I know this isn't always the case but it's far more common than you think and they should be banned from keeping all animals and their horses should be beheaded in front of them. [/QUOTE]
