[QUOTE="Devil's advocate, post: 8496846, member: 1504"] I'm trying to be realistic, I've got decisions to make myself. But locally anyone with a part time farm comes home to stolen gates & drained diseal tanks but I've maybe 5 million people within 45 minutes driving distance. Even stolen fences, one farmer locally has had all his new wire galvanised with a pink dye. That number of stock is a full time job as I see it. How about rebuilding walls, putting some land to forestry or wildlife schemes. Maybe earn extra shearing or helping labour only locally with silage, hay or reseeding. You may not have crime where you are but consider the risk & the cost of any stock that die whilst you are away. [/QUOTE]
