Sheep news:

Dad says because of the excess rain we've been having recently, the ewes are coming on season, so today we are seperating the rams from the ewes, and the lambs from everyone else. We are also supposed to be worming the flock, as we had two down yesterday (one lamb, one ewe), that had to be carried home from the paddock, and given preferential treatment over the rest (they got wormed early, in other words). It was rather cool in a way, pushing a ewe on her back in a wheelbarrow across a field and into her pen, despite the reason she was in the wheelbarrow in the first place. It was also just a little bit funny when the lamb wee'd down the back of Dad's shirt as he carried her into one of the sheds to sleep the night in warmth and safety.

Here's hoping today goes well!
