First lamb of the season just born - a soay ewe lamb. #Defaidodon
The #sheep have been shut in their shed all morning as #StormDave passes. Despite having full hay racks indoors they were desperate to get to their troughs to get their Rammaster and sugar beet pellets.

Morning Sheep Time

Storm Dave has buggered off and it's bright, if still a bit nippy. Sheep all in the bottom field, Lucky visibly much recovered and up with the first to arrive for biscuits. Pony skritched, Dom and Buster snuggled per their request.

It’s late, it’s dark, it’s windy, it’s raining, and I’m in my pyjamas, but I might go out into the muddy fields to see if the #sheep have been smart enough to go in their shed overnight, as #StormDave starts to bite.(Being smart like that is not their forté).

The #sheep enjoyed a supplementary feed of Rammaster and sugar beet pellets this morning. We had hoped to shear them this weekend, but with #StormDave forecast it didn’t seem like a good idea.

Morning Sheep Time

A bit nippy, cold wind, not particularly pleasant so predictably everyone up at the stables. Mostly normal insertion apart from Panda not taking his, so I put that one into Skippy. Giles explored ideal pony skritching positions, eliciting some tongue action at the front.

The curious, quiet 2025 drop of #lambs all back together for a few weeks while the ewes are in another paddock with the ram.

Still no lambs but some very large ewes now and a bunch of curious yearlings #Defaidodon #soay

Morning Sheep Time

It's a UK bank holiday, of course it's drizzly and smeg. Accordingly there are piles of wool at the stables, insertion is dubious (as it seems to be when they are at the stables on rainy days) and Buster has a big bramble in his wool, requiring the use of gloves for removal.

Bright but still a bit nippy. Dom bouncy this morning, Lucky had a proper hoof job last night, Panda still menacing Giles. Clean insertion of disks. (And a classic PANDAAAA!)
