Thread: Public land sheep

back in seventies goat culling at Mohaka near the Tehoe River we were asked by the cocky to hit the wild merinos hiding out in big Kanuka block along the Mohaka river -he was worried about rams getting into his romney flock - well we took to that with enthusiasm and some of the best mutton out - considering they had never seen drench they were always in good nick apart from some having bad hooves - definitely merino of some sort - heres a tip to dealing with daggy shreks - open them up on the ground and then hang them up by the kneck and punch skin off backwoods as to how one would normally do a sheep - that way the daggy arse is last and one is punching between clean skin and carcass - keeps carcass cleaner - even better use a quad to pull skin of -one is rewarded with some really good mutton
