Aye , those sacks were ■■■■ heavy and awkward to carry. The warehouseman at our feedstore saw me struggling with them and offered me advice . ( I was only 18 at the time . ). He advised me to head into town that weekend and choose an
18 to 20 stone lass for the weekends fun . He said that by the time Id manhandled her for a few nights , then the sacks wouldnt seem too heavy afterwards ! ! And sacks dont drink either , so I was told !
Cheers, cattle wagon man.
