Summary

COI synopsis: Some ingenious ideas, developed by both agricultural scientists and working farmers, to improve efficiency down on the farm. Sheep hate being dipped, and they do their best to be obstructive at dipping time. Now, the unsuspecting sheep walks into a cage which turns and tilts - dumping the animal into the dip. It makes dipping almost pleasant - for the farmer.
