Tuesday 22nd September

Glorious autumnal morning - very warm! All 27 lambs together in far SW corner so went for a walk with a bucket! Definite improvement on last week as all 27 approached me this morning although I was about 10 yards away before deciding to do so. One lamb was a bit confused and tried to eat my trousers!! Lots of pushing and shoving to get their heads inside when I put the empty bucket down to take a photo!

Gates all secure and water (albeit) very green in the trough

STAFF CHECK Monday 21st Sept

Checked and all 27 lambs were looking well. A couple of head strong lambs and keen on the call, and bucket but they are still reserved and a bit daft with the association to tasty nuts still! 

Hopefully time will prevail!

Thank you for your continued support

Sun 27 Sep

 All 27x lambs seem fine. Around half are coming to the bucket when called, so it will make life easier when they all do.

Warm day, but no concerns about flies. 

Trough full and refilling.

Fences and gates fine.

There are 27 lambs here, right?

 

There are definitely 27 lambs in the western enclosure. Would it be possible to please put the confirmed number on the home page of the blog, with a list of the ear tag numbers to help us if we have to report a problem?

Thursday 17th September

All 24 lambs accounted for and looking well. Trough flowing. Hadrian

Wednesday 16th September

 Lovely sunny day, sheep in two groups near the top. Rather confused as I counted 27, presume some more have been added?

A little more interest in me today,no 215 very bold, had their head in the bucket.

Otherwise look happy and frisky.

Tuesday 15th September

Got caught in drizzle this morning. Lambs all grazing mid field so easy to find. However failed my first attempt at being a lamb whisperer! All ran away to begin with but 125/125 ( forgot which?!) came over and stuck its head in the bucket while I was holding it. After a few minutes another arrived very timidly and eventually ate the remaining bit of food from the bucket on the ground. The others turned their back on me and continued grazing! 

Disturbed a couple of roe deer while in the field.
