Two limpers

Not the most inviting day to be out!

The cattle were clustered up at the northern gates. 058 has some bare patches on her hind legs. And 004 has lost some hair around her pin bones. She was enjoying a satisfying scratch on the slip rails. 







Hair loss above the back knees. No blood. 

Two sheep were slightly away from the flock  (in different places, not together). Both had a limp. 

Green sprayed limper: White Faced Woodland with front left limp. Grazing away from the flock. When I approached it walked - skipped back to flock. Wouldn't let me get close to it.

Unsprayed limper: WFW with front right limp. Slightly away from the others. Similarly grazing and hobbled away from me to rejoin flock. 

All four queries relayed to Jack. Please monitor their progress so we can see if they get better or worse.

Nice little flock of starlings swooping about. Meadow pippits feeding near the livestock.
