Looks a little more comfortable than when they are transported en masse Bill. We export a lot of sheep and it makes me sad when I see the sheep trucks here. The end result may be the same but this looks like a nicer way to get there.
Don't hope they catch a cold by this way of transport.
ReplyDeleteTo be sold?
ReplyDeleteYes, they will be sold to the highest bidder. People bring the animals they wish to sell to the market on Wednesdays.
DeleteThey look very calm, all things considered.

Such is life. At least they get a view.
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem to mind riding in that cage.
ReplyDeleteOff to market, I expect. Good photo!
ReplyDeleteA part of life we don't like to think about.
ReplyDeleteBon apetit! Yikes! I don't eat lamb, thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteNow, this looks like something I might see in my small town. Usually cows and pigs, though.
ReplyDeleteTo market to market to buy a fat...sheep? I've never eaten mutton. Have eaten lamb a couple of times ... these look older.
ReplyDeleteTheir last ride!
ReplyDeleteBaaaaa....Off to market I suppose.

That is a mighty small trailer. I hope they're being sold as breeders, or for the wool...
ReplyDeleteI lived in a farming town for 8 years so I know how breeding and selling of animals goes. Life goes on...
ReplyDeleteThat's the smallest little cart I have ever seen being pulled..perfect for a car I guess!
ReplyDeleteThis is something that should be seen - the sheep in the trailer.
ReplyDeleteSorry, lads.
