Summer Sheep work.


During the summer we have to take advantage of any cool days, even damp ones, to bring the sheep in to check them out. As usual there were two small late lambs that needed vaccinating and tagging. Some of the older lambs had lost their tags so new tags were attached. A couple of older ewes had the same problem. These were a little tricky trying to guess their ages for tag colours. We're not good at checking sheep teeth to determine their age! We removed the ram and some really old ewes so we can feed them extra rations. Luckily Missy was visiting so we removed her ram lamb from her, we need to deal with him! It stayed cloudy which made the job more pleasant.
