A guy at a party last night was telling me all about the niche rural sport of sheep throwing, which apparently is quite popular at agricultural shows up and down the country.
At least that's what I thought he said...turns out they were throwing "sheafs" not sheep, which is probably just as well from an animal welfare perspective.
