This farmer is a %^&*# genius

Post by greyghost » 03 Oct 2014, 9:49 am

Tough to identify your sheep after they're stolen, all sheep look a like right?

When I was young in my career I read a story online about a Scottish sheep farmer who had colored the fleece of his flock in an effort to deter thieves who had been regularly stealing his sheep at night.


Rainbow those suckers up so no one can steal them! From HP

If he's lucky maybe it will double as a predator deterrent as well.

Nah, try harder western...

I never said I hated Jews, I'll admit I dislike some Jews, just as I dislike some Christians, some Muslims and I have a particular aversion to some Buddhists too.

All Zionists, I dislike, do you know what they are western?

I bloody hope so for your sake Mate!!!!! :D :) :D

I just like one flag and it's not the bloody thing with the big yellow hole in the middle of it. Our countries flag has a Union jack in the corner and 6 nice white stars, maybe you put this one as your Avatar Ozzy 1290

Now that's our Country Mate!!!!
