So much for Bio security! Just spent a few hours trying to persuade Missy to come home. She has last years lamb with her and has found a ring in. I'd prefer the ring in to go away as it's a ram lamb. At least last years lamb came from our ram, as previous years Missy has just found any old ram to breed with. One year she was delivered back to us by a couple that looked like Ma and Pa Kettle! We hadn't even noticed Missy was missing. Amazingly she was with our flock when we gathered then in for making and vaccinations. Then she vanishes again. I spotted her next door a few days ago, with the extras. I managed to get her into Ken's behind us, but today failed as she pushed under the fence and back next door!! There's so many spots where she can push under the fencing, which is more suited for cattle than sheep. I try and block these with wood and stones, also repairing the fence. So frustrated! I can't wait till the latest Border Collie is skilled enough to help me.
