All 52x counted. The worst limpers are limping less, but I agree more of them seem to be affected. They all seem well in themselves. No concerns.

Slow to update the blog, sorry......
All 52x counted. No concerns. Although some are still slightly lame, they're much better than before.
I've not checked the field edges for fireworks, but will try to do that over the next few days.

All sheep looked OK today. We have added stock mesh to the southern central fence in the eastern compartment to stop dogs getting in.
