Bet that hurt. I was moving a pile of scrap lumber around the house on Thursday and ran a pretty good splinter off of a 2x4 into my thumb right into the knuckle.. About 3/4" long and roughly .060 in diameter. Made for a fun day of trying to get it out that eventually found me in the ER! When do you think you'll get to DFW? I'll probably be at work but give me a shout. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan.gerous 2,696 #29 Posted September 4, 2020 We noticed that the hedge appeared to be trimming itself up to about a metre high. After some research it was discovered that our three pet sheep have been doing it. A quick brain storming session over a beer and were have now made it possible for the sheep to trim above a metre.... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had been thinking llamas would work, but giraffes are a much better idea. Will cut a hole in the roof of the van, grab some bolt cutters and do a midnight run to Edinburgh zoo.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #34 Posted September 4, 2020 Alpacas are what you want. You could sell the fleeces. Worth a lot more than sheep fleeces. Check out Blencogo Farm Alpacas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out Blencogo Farm Alpacas. Our last neighbour had alpacas that she used for walking tours, seems like they were a lot less robust than a llama as she was annoyingly paranoid about them. Her husband used to mow the paddock with a ride on as she said they didn't like eating long grass, I got in trouble for starting up my race lawnmower as it scared them, and on it went - we couldn't move quick enough! Sheep wool is depressingly worthless at the moment. We had a chance to buy a farm with 8000 sheep a few years back, glad we didn't now, but still like it when we get to work with sheep - something comfortable about the annoying things.
