They see a car pull up at the gate and a human get out. They think the human has come bearing sheep nuts and run, bleating, towards the gate. It doesn't take them long to work out that this human did not arrive with a bag of feed! :laughs:

Funny you should say that. There had been a sheep killed and eaten up there. Some remains still lying on the ground. :eek:

No sheep this week. :sad:

So here's a sheep 'joke'. :joker:

Lovely day at a rare breed sale today.

First up a mystery sheep. Supposedly a Shetland, but it looks more like a dwarf Cheviot. It is NOT a lamb!
