50 damp sheep scattered across the East field valley floor. All appear well with no obvious lameness. Definite improvement on my first visit with Ellie on Monday.

Monday 7th December
I came out this afternoon with Adrian who will be starting lookering on Thursday.
There are a few lame sheep - some worse than others - the grazing team will come out this week to treat them.

Sat 5th and Sun 6th December
All 52x counted, all seem well. A little lameness in a few, but nothing that seems serious or worrying.
#8 can be a little boisterous, so keep an eye on him if you're in with the flock - he's not averse to giving you a nip or a nudge, if he wants attention or some sheep nuts!

Tuesday 1st December
The sheep were in very good spirits today. Enjoying the dry, cold weather. Lots of running and attempts to eat my wellies. Am I allowed to prefer them to last year's flock??
