Tuesday 13th October

A lot of lame sheep today and a few messy back ends. Reported to Ned and the grazing team will come out tomorrow and get the sheep in and treat them.

The sheep still followed me about and did some jumping, very sweet! I sat down for a while and let them get used to me a bit. 

Saturday 10th October

All 53x counted and I spent a nice long time with them today. As Ellie and Kate have noted, one white face and one brown face are showing lameness, although the brown face one is looking better. Otherwise they all look well.

Friday 9th October

 All 53x counted. They were really inquisitive, so was hard to get a decent view of them. Olly was very friendly and nuzzling my leg - it's nice to know his name.

Wednesday 7th October

 53 counted after several goes.The lame brown sheep that Ellie mentioned yesterday is running around on 3 legs.Another brown sheep is also lame on its front leg.Otherwise all good. 

Tuesday 6th October

Took a few attempts but 53 all accounted for. One of the brown sheep (not the one pictured) is very lame on its front leg, will report to grazing team. The very little lamb was coughing when I first arrived but seemed fine when I was leaving. Some of the lambs are becoming far more curious! 

The very friendly black sheep is one I hand reared a couple of years ago called Olly, it is nice to have him on one of my sites.

As I left I got followed down the hill by half of the group running and jumping, it's so funny to see them when they're all excited. Glad they're doing so well. 

SAY CHEESE!!

Wednesday 30th Oct
