Cute. We've done some pretty "redneck" transporting of sheep. We had one customer come to buy two ewes and she showed up with a dog kennel. It was such a joke. We ended up building her a wooden "pen" made out of pallets. When we hauled some sheep home that we purchased, we had them in a homemade trailer, pulled with an economy car equipped with a hitch. We had a cop follow us part way home. Not sure if he thought we were crazy or what. :p

We have a big dog and when we bought 3 shetland lambs we put them in our dog crate. Could have fit 3 more in it easily.

Redneck :lol: Everyone around here says we fit in well with the things we get up to
Collecting ewes in a dog crate :lol: - those two ewes on the pic filled the back of the Dodge and you would have laughed at me trying to lift em in - never knew how big Southdowns get

LOL! Richard talks about us being rednecks every time we butcher an animal as the "hanging tree" is right on the road side of the house so all coming by can see what we are doing! Thankfully we are not on a busy road - it's gravel so folks have to drive slowly. If we were on a busy road I think we would cause some accidents from folks rubbernecking.

Big redneck & hillbilly country around here - no offense meant, it's just the truth.
