For that reason sheenfarming in the more remote parts is not conducted with any freedom as the sheep are easy prey to wild pips. “At one place where I was working three years ago we used to have to herd the sheep near the cow barn while wo. wore milking the cows, and then, in between the milking times, night ami day, we would be out with guns protecting the flock. 1 remember a man arriving and being given a profitable job in this connection. He was supplied with all shooting equipment and paid 1 a snout. He earned £l5O in three months of the winter.
