Monday 30th September

All sheep accounted for today. The lamb which has fly strike was hanging its head and wasn't looking too happy when I saw it. Phoned the grazing team and Ned came out about an hour later, when we went back it looked absolutely fine! Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Saturday 28th September

All 41x accounted for. It took a nice long walk to locate them because they were back up in the corner by the railway arch.

They all came to the bucket, so got a good look at  them. No concerns. Some messy back ends, to monitor. #93 now completely bare on rear left leg/flank, but the wound is healing.

Wednesday 25th September

41 counted.All moving well including #93.Several have dirty backsides but no concerns at present.

Monday 23rd September

All looked OK. Sorry for the late post! They can be very difficult to find when they want to be!

Sunday 22nd September

All 41x accounted for. All looking comfortable and no concerns.

The wound site on #93 is not as clean as yesterday, but no flies and she's stopped nibbling at it so often.

There were two others with slightly messy back ends, but not a cause for concern. I'll keep an eye on them.

Saturday 21st September

All 41x accounted for. All looking well, grouped together, inquisitive when I approached, no concerns.

This was a morning check, but no flies visible on #93.

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.
