Can a Food For Thought reader help throw some light on this picture?
It's been the subject of a lot of debate in the Farmers Weekly office. One wag suggested it showed the sheep version of bungee jumping – but presumably they're washing the sheep before shearing them?
There’s a bigger version (and a couple of other photos from the same set) on FW's Field Day blog. Please post a comment there if you can confirm what was happening and where the venue is.
