Tupping Time 

A time-honored tradition in parts of rural scotland where farmers cut wild and flamboyant designs into the wool of their sheep. It's marked by a 3 day festival in October where local farmers showcase their designs. The festival is often concluded with a parade of the participating sheep and various other performances. Parades can vary widely between regions, however, it always includes an erected dedication to Tupp, the ancient celtic lamb goddess and is concluded with a ceremonious burning of the fattest ewe.

In the more provincial villages, some archaic customs are still performed. One of these traditions is to cover the young brides of the year in sheep's blood to increase their fertility.

Cow topping 

The selective removal of the extremities of a cow. Such trimming can give better shape to the cow and will encourage further growth.

When cows grow too leggy, it can be helpful to lop excess growth, which will promote the cow to fill out instead of growing too tall and spindly.

Not to be confused with cow tipping, which is the act of giving monetary reward to cows that have provided good service.
Monty Don: In this episode of Gardeners' World, I will be showing the techniques of cow topping, using my small chainsaw and pruning secateurs.
