Point of order Chairman Sway. I am not in the habit of sleeping with strange cows. I admit that there have been a few who could be termed mad cows but even then we had been suitably introduced prior to any form of sexual congress.

ps - Anyway, I'm Australian. We prefer our livestock fluffy.

Baaaaad Sway.

Apparently as a Stooge, I am forced to offer my apologies to my Austrailian friend. Any implication that he is indiscriminate in his choice, or use, of livestock was strictly unintentional. To the extent that my concern that hapless Portagees in strange lands might emulate Mr. tdw's alleged usage of livestock for questionable purposes, my point stands. Further illuminations of alleged acts remain the property of Mr. tdw solely and, it is to be hoped, silently.

Thanks Sway.

Now purely by coincidence I was reading an essay last night about a very famous short story (by Henry Lawson) and painting (by Drysdale I think it was) called the Drover's Wife. In it was explained just how Australian drovers managed to keep the sheep in one place during sexual congress. The idea was that the drover put his boots on the hind legs of the selected sheep with the toes pointing back. Drover then stood on the toes and in the immortal words of Jackie Gleason "awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we go"?

Thought that bit of trivia might interest you all.

No , please, don't thank me. Consider it an act of selfless sharing ?

at least it's explained why my sheep shagging expoits are often less than perfect. I was beginning to think it was me. Started to lose faith in my ewe de cologne.

Now have we discussed 'potty calves' ? (as distinct from mad cows)

Sorry Cam, I refuse to be the butt of your jokes.

Only to show that it's not just Australians and Kiwis I note a reference in today's Australian about a Dutchman who was acquitted of shagging a sheep cos the sheep could not testify against him in court. Ya gotta love that one. (Can't find an inline reference so you'll have to take my word for it.)

tdw,
What "inline" reference do you generally use when it comes to sheep?

I also find it somewhat a dubious proposition that a Dutchman was able to get anywhere near one of your prized ewes. While we're on the subject, and I'm sure the Portagee is curious also, what IS the age of consent for an Austrailian ewe?
