Hay bales really do suck, MJM...and anybody who ever claims to have gone for a roll in the hay is probably a liar. I did a fair chunk of growing up on a farm...the worst was haybaling, but sheepshearing time can also be bad...Probably just the system we used though. See, my helper friend and I would go into the sheep pen, and scare out one of the sheep, which would run through some low-walled passages and into the shearing pen. It worked great, until we had to scare out the three rams...we started running at them, then they started running at US...they ended up breaking down a stone wall that we jumped over. With their heads.
