Thursday 31st October

 Lambs all looking okay today :)

Need to fill in a hole by one of the benches and put some aggregate down by the kissing gate as it is quite muddy!

Thank you all for your support checking the site and livestock,

Sam

 Unfortunately I wasn't able to check on the sheep today as by the time I finished wprk it was too dark (thanks, clocks...) 

 I will try to get to see them on Friday.

Sun 27 Oct

 Emily and I (eventually) counted all 51x sheep, which were spread right across the enclosure.

All seemed fine. Tough, fences and gates fine.

No concerns.

 Checked the lambs this afternoon and enjoyed the sunshine. All 51 counted, a few messy behinds but no flies seen. Had 12 come over straight away for sheep nuts, followed a bit later by another 4. Unfortunately, only a small handful left, so some lambs went without a treat. Trough ok. Spotted 1 roe deer. I will send a message to Sam re the sheep nuts.

Wednesday 23rd October

 Mild damp day. 51 counted, spread across the field, mostly laying down.

They all came over to the bucket, several messy ends but not causing any problems I can see.

Monday 21st

I could only count 50 sheep, but my husband counted 51. I couldn’t see the very little sheep, maybe he’s had a growth spurt?

 A big bulk of them came running when they saw the bucket and non of them ate out of my hand but a few of them touched my hand when I held out some cobnuts. Only a couple of handfuls left I reckon.  

There’s a carcass in the field that I thought was the 51st sheep I couldn’t spot, but Chris’s post from yesterday said it was a deer. 

I took a photo (from far away) in case that helps, but I will buffer it with another photo first so it’s not just a grotesque picture in the thumbnail.
