Straying sheep

If I where farmer c I would call farmer b to remove his sheep. If he doesn't do it, call again. If he still doesn't do it, inform him you will, coincidentally, replace the gate shortly with a wire for easier access.

I have had something similar with a neighbour, his sheep come onto our land pretty much every year. I quite like the guy and I really don't mind, it's just that he always asks if he can let his sheep on our ground when they are already there. One time I told him to remove them as my gates are open. The wooly fückers didn't go on the road but they did find my silageclamp and round bales.
This will make you laugh Farmer C took his gate away so what did farmer D do but fetch another gate . Who is taking the pee !!!🤷‍♂️

From experience, it is often getting hold of Farmer C that is the issue, and chances are, he is 50 miles away.... and busy. :oops:

There was a chap I knew who was so fed up of this happening to his WW, he removed the gate, and put a strand of wire across as a barrier. You can guess what happened next... Sheep all over the Village and Police called. Farmer B was called, and the sheep removed from the area PDQ.

Maybe not right, but quite understandable, B had been taking the pee.
Police were called by someone who saw them on the road and they just chased them into a field and said that was it ,they wouldn’t bother unless there was an accident,
