Wishing we’d sheared the lambs earlier on in the year, but otherwise looking well 😁

Multicoloured sheep season again 🫣 All served with only 3 red bums so far luckily! 2 re-serves and 1 we were waiting on.

Walking the rams in today ready to put to the ewes tomorrow. One of the jobs that brings a smile to our face and makes us feel like proper shepherds.

Action shot with our group of three!

Hope Show has been fantastic and we’re really looking forward to coming back again next year!

Made much easier with Michael's genius 12v lights in the shed

We are still doing some sheep jobs in between shows 😂 Hope Show on Monday being our last one for the year!

With the teaser going in on the 25th for a 1st of Feb lambing, we’ve been getting the girls ready. Footbathed, mineral drenched, and marked up with their number and for which tup they’ll go to.

Red = Dutch Spotted and Blue Texel
Green = Allanshaws Bruiser
Blue = whichever tup we might get at Lockerbie!

Didn’t get any photos of the actual show again! So enjoy a photo of a fluffy lamb bum from prepping the day before 😂

We always enjoy Hanbury show, and the boys did us well with 4th for our aged and shearling rams and 1st for our ram lamb! Just hoping for better luck with the girls next weekend at Ashby Show.

Thought we were done lambing 🙈 The hoggs were accidentally in with a tup for a week and we had hoped that nothing had held! Looks like we’ve got two more to go though…

A rather warm start to the show season at today!

All three sheep placed: 2nd for our aged ram, and 3rd for our aged and shearling ewes 😁 Well done to everyone who showed today!

So yesterday was very exciting Maggie our red and white collie had a gorgeous pair of black and white boys sired by our own blue merle koda (the white pup is already called bandit 🤦‍♂️)

Not pocket sized anymore!

We’ve had a productive day worming ewes and lambs, tagging, and turning some more out from the shed. Also, had some trouble with mastitis this year so have now moved all our ‘problem ewes’ into one group so they’re easier to keep an eye on.

It's not just lambing season for us this year. Maggie is due her first litter of pups in a few weeks she is a red and white and bred with Koda our own blue merle dog. So excited to see how the pups turn out!
