Needs must, how many of our kids have been in the "farm" playpen? My eldest spent a fair time in a sheep hurdle pen when his mom was at work or needed time out and I had him with me in the sheep yard ;)
When I went to market I used to put my lad in a sheep pen in Hfd .it's surprising how many walked past and gave him a sweet ......everything I came to check on him he was chewing a sweet .
...imagine doing that now ,you would have the 'social brigade' on your case !

Probably what inspired him to be an auctioneer !

I can't afford a seed drill,
I've got an air seeder on the harrows
A broadcaster to go on the bike .
A trailed seeder to go behind the bike ,
Hopefully I can do it with one of them 🤷‍♂️
Don't worry, someone will have fly tipped a pair of the correct rollers by the end of the week. Failing that you could swap them for a Combi van

I hope those that remember him still give him sweets when they see him in a pen of stock!
