GT v. FSU in Ireland 2024

Actually, it’s to identify sheep belonging to different farmers when they’re mixed together in the same field. Farmers with their own fields don’t need to paint their sheep, but farmers who share grazing areas do. The price of wool is apparently like 5 cents per Kg and it all gets shipped to China and bleached, so it doesn’t matter if the paint permanently dyes the wool or not.

Nah, I think I already knew the deal from the last time we were over here, but it happened to come up again a couple of days ago while we were doing a wool tour.

One of you over there better have kissed the Blarney Stone
We did that last time. There was a legend of a big rock where you could make a wish and toss a pebble over the rock over your shoulder with your eyes closed, so I did that. The game is in the bag, guys!
