A young lad was sent to an outfarm to lamb ewes . The father heard he was going into town galavanting so he rang him at seven o’clock and lambing was going well. He rang him at 8 o’clock and things were still fine . At 9 o’clock there was no answer so the next morning early he arrived over with a trailer to bring home the sheep and the young lad . Shortly after a bulldozer arrived with instructions to knock down the dwelling house on the outfarm because there was no son of his was going to the picture house in Castledermot. When the man died he had a thousand acres of land .
This is a true story.
