I have kept a few and they...Yes, sheep are a pain. I have kept a few and they seem to catch everything going and then eat something they shouldn't. I guess it is a sign of our selective breeding as nature usually selects beasts like this out of the equation very quickly.Flotsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667133671787405215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784124.post-74764374362433666642012-04-23T21:39:55.943+00:002012-04-23T21:39:55.943+00:00They still taste good though :-)They still taste good though :-)Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784124.post-80930933086950944912012-04-23T18:08:44.625+00:002012-04-23T18:08:44.625+00:00We feel like crying our eyes out now Chris!!!! lo...We feel like crying our eyes out now Chris!!!! lolDel and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756260943506456527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784124.post-22215387842773213012012-04-23T18:08:27.957+00:002012-04-23T18:08:27.957+00:00We feel like crying our eyes out now Chris!!!! lo...We feel like crying our eyes out now Chris!!!! lolDel and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756260943506456527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784124.post-67237163841264079992012-04-23T16:09:17.894+00:002012-04-23T16:09:17.894+00:00I was brought up on the edge of Dartmoor and once ...I was brought up on the edge of Dartmoor and once walked all the way to the local farm to tell the farmer there that one of his sheep had died tangled in a fence at the end of our road, he looked at me and instead of thanking me for letting him know he said 'of course it did lad, sheep are only good at one thing and that's killing themselves, they are of course bloody good at it and generally:<br />1. Finding quick ways to kill themselves.<br />2. Finding new ways to kill themselves.<br />3. Finding ridiculous ways to kill themselves.<br />4. Following their friends who kill themselves.<br />5. Dying unexpectedly<br />6. Dying expectedly<br />7. Expecting to die.<br />8. Using tried and tested ways of killing themselves.<br />9. Inventing ways of killing themselves that even the most quick witted of shepherds could not have possibly contemplated.<br /><br />I remember thinking what a heartless soul he was until I bought a house on the edge of a sheep farm - by god they put some effort into ending it all.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
