LANARKSHIRE representative for McCaskie Farm Supplies, Gary Whyte, made a bit of a faux pas recently when doing his annual ‘tup safari’ of clients selling at Kelso.
On a visit to one client, Gary boldly walked in to the tup shed and shouted to the owner – “Ye better bring a jag wi’ ye, there’s a sheep doing a hooruvva grunting.”
The attendant farmer duly rushed in with medication in hand, only to find that the ‘hooruvva’ grunting was actually coming from his family pig in the corner and not one of his beloved and perfectly healthy Beltex tups!
Apparently, Gary’s red face lit up Lanarkshire for a week after.
