Sheep Racing

I can't say I ever heard of this, but I'm glad to know this particular event was cancelled.

Re: Sheep Racing

I wonder how they make 'em run?

Is someone at the far end rattling a bag of food into a trough, or have they got something that spooks 'em at the start post?

Stupid and uneccessary fun for humans, more so than the sheep as usual.

Mind you, where do you stop? We have said before on here, what about horse racing and they have the weight of a human on their backs, not a stuffed teddy bear!

I also loathe big fat human adults sitting on donkeys backs too.

There's nowt as queer as folk.

Re: Sheep Racing

I've never heard of sheep racing, but I can imagine the poor things must be terrified. Last week I read about some place in America where they drop live turkeys from planes for some kind of fiesta. You are right Destrouse, nowt so queer as folk.

Re: Sheep Racing

Google The Big Sheep, sheep racing through out the summer I believe.
