Farming News

The value of sheep has plummeted since the turn of the year. One farmer from Aberdeen, Farmer McInnes, has seen a nil return at five of six markets so far with just one single sheep hitting the mark at the lowly Dumbarton market in January. Confidence in Farmer McInnes’s on-the-field ability is at an all-time low and cries of “ewes are useless” are now common place from visitors to his Pittodrie farm.

[Hibbyradge]

Well, I'll be blowed.

I didn't think I'd read anything more pointless than my debate with BHFC about whatever it's now about, but by Jove, you've cracked it! :greengrin

[WhileTheChief..]

You'll be for the chop if you carry on with these puns.

The OP can shoulder the blame.

Bryson was a Ram.

[green day]

To be fair to the farmer, his prize Welsh sheep has had some weird affliction causing more falling over in the box since the new year..................

[Alfiembra]

Do they play Hoofball?

[KingPat4]

Never enjoyed going to Pittodrie, always felt I was being fleeced.

[Hibbyradge]

I knew as soon as I read the OP that the usual suspects would flock to this thread.

[KingPat4]

Always thought their female support were mutton dressed as lamb.


I'll get ma coat.



:na na:

[Springbank]

Old skool reference but Hibs old physio Stewart Collie would round up that Aberdeen team in a jiffy

[Greenbeard]

Diminishing attendances likely. One man and his dog in the paddock.

[hibbyfraelibby]

If they were to change the head shepherd would they flock back though?

[rodhibs55]

Not so sure, don't think they could pull the wool over every ones eyes.

[Eyrie]

[KingPat4]

This thread is born out of shear boredom.

Please stop bleating on.

[ancient hibee]

This thread is a load of bull.I’m pig sick of it.

[KingPat4]

Why are dyed in the wool Hibbies discussing this anyway?

We are a rare breed, always best in show.

Bah, there's no need to diversify.

Better duck for cover.

You’re all over this thread, stop trying to hogget.

[Waxy]

They’ve been tripe since the turn of the year.

[Iggy Pope]

Specialist pun. Leave that to the Welsh.

[monktonharp]

poor Mr McInnes has his sheep in the pend, but i'd wager it goes all sad in the end. the new yankee owner wont wait for the lambing, he'll be screeming for action on that you can depend.

[Greenfly]

Aberdeen - where men are men and sheep are worried.

Nae bother so long as we ram it right up them when we're there in March.

rumour is they are for the chop if they don't perform better

[KingPat4]

I think I've had enough of this flocking thread.

I'm trotting off.

[Greenbeard]

Farmer McInnes's sheep at Hamilton's artificial market this evening. Sheep dropping behind the well?

[KingPat4]

Cormack should put Dolly Mixtures on the catering menu.

[Carheenlea]

Never really got the Aberdeen/farmers/sheep ****gers thing. We’re more sheep farming territory down here in the south.

[Hibs4185]

Hopefully Hamilton can ram the sheep tonight to leave the yams Even closer to the SPL slaughter.

Good of you to give the sheep something to look forward to.

Thats actually a bit misleading. The quality of the land in the north can only support certain numbers of sheep, so the rates of sheep to the hectare will be lower, but more hectares will be given over to sheep.

So sheep ****gers is most definitely appropriate.

You ever been to East Anglia?

John McEnroe.
Size doesn't matter. It's what you do with it. The sheep that is.

[KingPat4]

You ever been to East Anglia?

Yes. There's more tractors in the Buchan area of Aberdeenshire.

[ancient hibee]

The Buchan Firkin trophy.Archie MacPherson’s nightmare.

[Vault Boy]

Given East Anglia is the largest agricultural producer in the UK I don't think that's true. :greengrin

Those Suffolk boys seem to be rather proud of that nickname, for whatever reason.
