The Banner Brothers are trouble—aggravating, infuriating, distracting trouble. Rich has his hands full taking care of his own sheep, he doesn't need the added frustration of the Banner Brothers and the way their llamas can't stay on their side of the fence. Every time Rich starts to get a leg up, something else goes wrong, and it's always the Banners who are there to bear witness. The only thing worse than them always being around would be if they ever catch on to the fact he doesn't really want them to go.
