Sheep Rustling

Sheep theft of up to 1500 beasts occurred a couple of days ago in Louth area of Lincs :open_mouth: So how many trucks would it take and where can you get rid of that much lamb ? :confused:

Now I’m even more surprised. :open_mouth:

The only livestock I’ve ever carried were chickens and IIRC we used to carry about 4,500 on an artic at a time.

The market price is said to be good at the moment for sheep, though they could be ‘on the hook’ by now .

It’s the fleeces that make them ‘look wider’ /bigger’ , & runn them up the ramp they all squash together :wink:

It’s a good excuse is that :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: When the freeze sets in like last winter I ended up wearing a polo shirt + 2 fleeces :laughing: + body warmer + coat + fluffy deerstalker with ‘ears’ + hard hat on top …well it was minus 16 , if I fell over I wouldnt have hurt myself :laughing: & when I went in the canteen , it was only those that knew me that recognised me :blush: after discarding the extra four stone image instantly :laughing: :laughing:
