It seems they should have put the sheep in the overgrown field and got it cut for free! Now that is big society

Who do you trust writing an article.... BBC news or Newbury Today?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-12864854 277 Sheep http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article...articleID=16304 350 Sheep There's a huge difference here... But should we really be concerned...??? Oh and in other news  Feed Swans brown bread, not White bread and the picture to coincide with the article..... A SWAN!!! yeah baby yeah!!!! Why couldn't it be Brown Bread?

Good to see you posting again GBR!
277 sounds to me like a more accurate number. 350 more like a guestimate. |

350 is the number for insurance purposes.

Thanks Dannyboy I've been too long away from this forum. I have been a busy young man! Shame that there are still idiots driving the streets like a Bad boy.. I feel like getting a screw driver and popping a tire on them... I'm sure Mc Donalds will be very happy or would they...But yes, I only ever pop on here now to see the news articles. Seems like NWN wins with the number of sheep missing  I would say, if anyone is stealing sheep, these people must be from another region, I only think this because If I was to steal sheep, I would travel 100 miles to find a farm, perhaps I would investigate the whereabouts first, how to get in, etc.. So no one notices that 1 day I have no sheep, the next day, I have 277 oops I mean 350 and then get suspected. I bet I'm right and no, I'm not the theif... Just a Good Boy. So the chances of getting those poor little fellas back, very slim.  Some farmer must be depressed because of this... all his work and money just gone.
