Well I'm not sure how I'd do with a screwdriver in my head.

Who did this and why I have no idea but at least the it looks like the sheep will be okay.

That's sick!

But you are indeed right. Sheep are hard as nails!

One sprung out in front of me while driving the Disco three door. Hit it at circe 25mph...front bumper mashed...sheep gets up and walks away!

I spoke to the farmer down the road and told him which one it was, he checked on it later that evening & it was still fine. Darn, I quite like slow roast mutton wink

"Can you see it? That white one, just over there. Next to that white one. No, not that white one, the other one. Yep, the white one. Just next to that one. No, no, the white one. Yep, the white one. I'm sure. That's the one."

Oddly, I've got a couple of farmer friends and they both say the same thing

"each and every day, sheep wake up and wonder how they could best kill themselves today"....


I guess they feel it's different if someone else does it though!?!?

LOL

I knew someone would come back with that! smile

Was easy, really, it was the one covered in mud with bits of a TD5 front bumper hanging off it! (the TD5 bumper was never liked anyway, so a Tdi bumper was put back. The sheep did the Disco a favour!)

Missed the correct spot by about 2" but would be better if the screwdriver was implanted into anyone who could be so cruel. How can such depravity be so?

Same laws permitting farmers to shoot uncontrolled dogs that worry their sheep should apply to scrotes who viciously harm their animals.

Sheepiles on the site were shorn last week, just in time for a dramatic turn of the weather including hail and sleet, they weren't very happy then but today were contentedly lazing about in the sun.

ugly buggers!

Not exactly OT, but I used to live in a Highland village ,where we needed "Beware of the Rams " notices . It wasn't uncommon for Rams to attack small terriers . I've seen several Westies & Cairns run for their lives after an attack from some of these . And these small dogs aren't known for backing down .

If you want to see ugly you only have to look at a Beltex, pigsheep I call them.
But the muscle on them, WOW.

Found out that one of my friends knows the farmer to speak to. My friend's kids call him the racist farmer because he has a couple of fields of purely black sheep. smile
