This one is more movie-related than agricultural – but it’s got sheep in it so I figure it qualifies.
Field Day reader Scarlett Hayler-King has got in touch to tell me about a new film called Black Sheep.
It’s a horror movie – apparently the little bleaters do lots of unpleasant and gory things to people (I guess having your relations eaten is bound to have psychological consequences).
It’s set in New Zealand and is about genetically modified sheep that turn into zombies and eat people!
Nice.
Talking of sheep...
did anyone hear or see the ewe that gave birth prematurely (i think thats how you spell it). Apparently, it was 5 months early and came as a bit of a shock to the farmer.
Also, i read in the paper today that a X farmer (sadly died) and has left all the 1.5 million pound estate to the RSPCA!!!!!!!!! NOT HER FARMING DAUGHTER WHO LOOKED AFTER THEM!
Sound like fun - and can you blame them? I always thought there was something sinister about the way sheep look at you ... shudder ...
Set aside a little time tonight and rent this movie. You will finally understand what everyone is talking about and you will understand why this is my all time favorite movie.
