to think what did I see I just saw a man jack up a sheep on BBC2

[TheJoyofBeingSingle]

Farmer's Country Showdown. Man puts sheep on metal platform and pumps it with his foot so sheep rises up - like a car being jacked up.

Poor sheep just stands there.

Man pumps him up til platform and sheep are at his level so he can...
groom the sheep without bending.

He's some posh show sheep going to some sheep equivalent of Crufts.

What did I see? If it was 1 April I'd have thought it was a hoax.

I clicked thinking you meant heroine...

You'd be amazed what goes on, we used to show cows, that was weird too

I once saw a man on Country File benchpress a pig like he was lifting weights

I clicked thinking you meant heroine...

I misread and thought someone had just jacked off a sheep on BBC2. What the OP saw seems much less weird by comparison.

I misread it as jacked off as well. Thought it was going to be about inseminating the females.

I thought heroin too 😂😂😂😂

I clicked on it wondering if it was Joey Carbstrong doing some piece on inseminating females

Actually I kept watching it. I'd been channel hopping and it was quite sweet.

All these farmer took their sheep to be judged and they were so pleased if their sheep got a prize.

The jacked up sheep who I think was called Zebedee got a rosette. To be fair he was a nice looking sheep.

I feel bad now for thinking it was some weird sheep like a car activity.

They were all so caring and proud of their entrants.

This was it - googled.
The end bit anyway was kind of cute at the show.

Heroin... Heroine... well maybe they were a particularly brave sheep?!

Zebedee is here - the second from the left. He was a very nice looking sheep as I said but he did have his own groom platform.

He does look cleaner than the others to be fair😂

I have a dairy farmer friend. When showing cows she secretly draws over the veins on their udders with blue highlighter pen to make them look more prominent!!

I misread as jackedoff 😂

I misread it too,as 'man jacks off a sheep'. I thought this was going to be a thread about artificial insemination in the sheep farming industry.

God this thread is hilarious, heroine sheep, drugged up on heroin sheep, jacked off sheep 😂

Zebedee is the greatest sheep name ever.

I misread it as jacked off as well.

Same here!!

How the F he keeps track of hundreds of sheep and about 50 cows I don't know.

Me and my wife went to see Amanda Owen (Yorkshire Shepherdess) at the beginning of March.

She had a picture up of one of her children as a baby with a calf. She turned around and said, I'm not sure which child that is (well she does have 9!), but I can tell you everything about that calf.

Zebedee is very obviously the best sheep. Justice was done.
Op, all the real players have a glam squad, didn’t you know?

I absolutely love shows like this! There was a brilliant one a while back (“This Country Life” I think) where a Scottish farmer had this wee tiny orphaned lamb he kind of adopted, who thought it was a sheep dog and it ran around trying to “help” him round up cows who had escaped their field. It was so comical!

Congratulations to Zebedee!

@PhilCornwall1

That's hilarious!

@Piglet89 By the end of it, I was very taken with the whole thing and I felt bad about my initial reaction. It was very lovely.

I also now harbour admittedly insane fantasies of having a nice cuddley glamour sheep like Zebeedee as my new pet and show sheep.

I do know that it's like watching Crufts and seeing some glamourous wafting Afghan hound groomed to within an inch of its life and thinking 'I'd like an Afghan'. Failing to realise that your own Afghan would look like this

Really I want fluffy Zebedee. He was very nice as sheep go.

Hahhaha re your Afghan!
