The #alpacas & #sheep have been fed. I was going to top up their water but my back went out - yes, again - moving the lucerne.

I’ll do their water in an hour or two.

Chaser the alpaca was late to the feed. His eventual arrival caught Ozzie’s attention. The sheep ate on regardless.

The three detainee #sheep were able to eat their supplementary feed of Rammaster and sugar beet pellets in relative peace without the others to bully them out of the way. They’ll stay in a little longer to keep their feet dry and clean.

Morning Sheep Time

Another nice morning, Panda first to arrive and boisterous with it, giving taps to both me and Giles. Both the little ones feisty too, even Brambles joining in. Warm wool and cuddles. Bicycling later this afternoon if this weather holds.

The lucerne I ordered for the #sheep & #alpacas arrived late last week.

The delivery drivers usually drop it near the gate to the back paddock, saving my back from having to move it very far.

This load however, the driver put in our carport - about 25 metres from our normal drop spot!

Sigh.

I see pain meds in my feeding the animals future.😖

Three of the #sheep are being kept in for a few days to make sure that their feet are nice and dry, and to make sure that they have a chance to get their fair share of supplementary feed. They didn’t like being separated from the others (who didn’t care), and were bleating to be let out. It made me feel mean!

Shearing weekend for the #sheep… well half of them anyway. As they’re all sheared by hand, by inexperienced shearers, and they didn’t get sheared at the right time last year, it too 1-2 hours per sheep.
Next weekend the other half will be done, if we don’t get them done after work in the week.

Skudde lambs. It's one of the oldest domestic #sheep breeds. They originate from the Baltic region and possibly date date back to the Neolithic era. About 2000 survive in zoos today.
