jakescot Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 to lighten this topic up again....something that made me laugh today .......My cousin Donnie`s a plumber, and has often helped us out here on the farm.He recounted about working on a farm cottage not too far away doing a refurb..anyways the guy`s father still is workin a bit on the farm and likes to dodge away at things.He`d been in and made them both a coffee and said oh well I`d better go and get the store lambs in,David`s wantin a lorry load to go away on thursday and duly set off. Donnie was working away but could see what was goin on out the windows and saw the old guy go to the field gate and send a collie dog off to round up the sheep.Next thing , he`s shoutin and swearin at the dog and or the sheep > .....the sheep,as sheep do, weren`t playing ball and refused to come in. >:(He ended up goin out into the field and half rounding them up himself. He has a limp and some days is really quite lame so chasin sheep isn`t ideal for him anyway at his age.The sheep as I say eventually start to go out of the gate and hoof it off up the road.He`s walking back towards the gate,waving his stick at the dog and clearly mutterin something. >:(As he nears the gate he calls the dog who by now is skulking away half way down the field keeping well out of range of the stick .Dog dutifully and rather shyly comes up to him and Donnie said you could see what was coming.... ;).As the dog got nearer he says he was lining up to catch it.It was too fast for him and dodges away through the gate and up the road after the sheep. He shouted it back again and it did come back rather sheepishly and he says again you could see this coming. The old guy`s gettin ready to aim a kick at this dog as he got near to him...dog approaches and kick is aimed which the collie deftly dodged which sent the old guy spinning half round and and falling flat on his back in all the muck. :D Donnie said he burst out laughing at this point but kept looking long enough to see said old guy pickin himself up and having a look around to see if anyone had spotted this . [He said he was even more lame than usual and covered in mud as he toddled off up the road.!!!!!!! well it made me laugh at least ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sympathise (although it is funny) - I used to bring my sheep in with a bucket of feed. One day I was walking briskly up the field with the flock happily racing after me, and a guy who used to help us bringing up the rear, when one of the larger ewes caught the back of my welly and sent me flying. There were sheep nuts everywhere and they all just raced over me to get at them. The guy helping just couldn't stop laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin Henry said - "if one breaks to your right grab it but if one breaks to your left leave it for the chap on your left." Fine; sheep moving nicely to the pens, one breaks to my right, I make a grab for it and Henry, on my RIGHT, also makes a grab for it. Our heads cracked together knocking us both silly and 92 sheep ended up running all over the market. He really took some stick over that, bless him.
