Here come the girls!


It was shearing time for the ewes a couple of weeks back so they were brought from up the way and taken past Sandside up to Windbreck......  I had to keep out of sight so I didn't scare them....

Here they come, spilling across the grass (they don't do any damage!)


They have someone running up front with a feed bucket calling them....


And making sure they keep the momentum and there are no stragglers.....!


School holidays are busy if you live on a farm!

  2. The perception of sheep is that they are brainless but its not true. They can recognise and remember up to 40 faces, apparently.

    1. So I have heard! Though I think at lambing time some farmers are convinced that a lamb's main aim is to kill itself the scrapes they get into!
