Chasers ? Is that a countrywide word or just Northern ?

Does it mean rigs? Not heard it before

Chasers are tups you hoy out after the proper tups have done their job
Chasers to chase up

 

[ritchiekirkland]

Aye heard it in that context but why would there be chasers in with store lambs ?

 

[livestock 1]

Because it’s Bellingham

Because it’s Bellingham

Bellingham was some place. I was only allowed to go to the big November suckler sale when I was a kid.

One of Bellingham's many claims to fame. In 1964 the band booked to play at a Saturday night dance in the town hall was the Animals. They played their new single, the 1st time in public,, to be released the next week, House of the Rising Sun.

Chaser….one or both nuts undescended…(most likely one) …therefore unable to be properly castrated.
Spend their spare time chasing possible conquests…
