Seriously, it's probably old fashioned poaching, not some sort of ancient ritual.
Ahhh - a Barnsley chop - delicious !!!

they start shouting the odds and trotting about if they hear anything out of the norm. We always know if there's anyone around as they are very close to the house.

Re: Sheep killed
Strange how they were 'professionally' butchered.Perhaps either someone's who's job it is, or else someone who steals sheep regularly and knows his stuff, I would have thought.
A year ago another farmer found the remains of 11 of his sheep down Oxford way.

There must have been several people working together on this, because if one sheep at a time was caught it would send out an alarm call, and the rest of the flock would run off.
So to catch a whole group must have taken a bit of man power.

Yes indeed Annie. Some sheep are a long way from the farm houses.
