Ha ha Rico: Better to count ewes than roos. Did you hear about the ewe who married a Kangaroo and gave birth to a wooly jumper. Ha ha. SuZ

Of course! My late mother-in-law had many! Aloha! Rico

Hello Rico ... chasing sheep to count them is enough to put you to sleep. They are brainless, cantankerous, do what they want to count - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Sheep counters invariably count the same sheep more than once; like people, sheep believe there is always a better place in the mob ....Aloha! Rico
