Friday 20th September
Well, the sheep are certainly more friendly... All looking good. Only #93 giving any concern. The wound site is much better, but weeping and the flies are back. I've called it through to Ellie (at 3pm on a Friday.....) will report it to the grazing team. Because they're so friendly now, it may be possible to bring them all in with a bucket and grab her rather than have to round them all up.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I have been out and checked the sheep. She is far too quick for me to catch by myself but as it is fit and healthy I am not too concerned. We will continue to monitor her closely.
Thanks
Tom
She was absolutely fine this morning (Sat) too. I will let Ellie know if I have any concerns, but with the temperature due to drop over the coming days I don't expect any problems.
