Don't be fooled by how peaceful it all seems. We had a frustrating morning. It took 50 minutes to move these sheep out of one field. 50 minutes! It used to take Maggie 5 to 10 minutes. The little b.... knew where the gate was but would they go through, no. The shearer was due at 10.30 am and I thought they won't be in the yards when he arrives. Once they kindly left the field they actually just went from field to field and into the yards like sugar wouldn't melt. Tired mostly likely but whose fault was that. So the four woollies got shorn and our kind shearer even did the 5 lambs that needed marking. The rest were vaccinated. We're going to miss Maggie! She barked and howled from her crate and now has a red spot on her bottom from swiveling around wanting to come and work. It's been a busy few days.
