We have to walk stock a few times a year along the road. Today it went wrong. Walked 30 cattle along the 1/4mile stretch all went smoothly. Along the stretch there is 19 houses so it is quite a feat. When it came to the sheep it didn't go quite so well, new pup split them up sent them in to 3 gardens, 2 of the neighbours said nothing but one got wild snotty. 30 sheep at most in his lawn and I'm sure it's over an acre so not as if they rotovated it up. Dad apologised and lifted up the dirt (4 droppings).
Reason for this thread: only 5 of the houses are up more than 20yrs, of the 19 houses 2 have gates 1 has a cattle grid. We put rope across each entrance and a bag usually works but obviously sheep were spooked and ignored them. Now everyone has arsehole neighbours but with all these new houses should there not be planning restrictions that require a gate? In my mind I made a reasonable effort to keep them out of gardens but with so many houses springing up should it not become a requirement. I just feel we are losing our country way of life.
Ps I didn't sell any sites before some one says.
