Willow🐑 and her pumpkin friends Alma🐑 and Luna🐑 got up early this morning and got to the hay first. The big woollies push them out of the way so they were very happy to have it to themselves. They demolished it though and had no regrets.

21/05/2024

Poor wet woollies today 🌧️. There was a lot of rain overnight so it’s all muddy. The woollies tried to shelter but it was no good, the rain kept coming. Strong cold winds now so they are snuggled up for the night in the stables.

Beautiful relaxing Sunday for the woollies today☀️. Well until Fanta🐏 and Frosty🐏 had to have their hooves checked. Fanta was limping a little and Frosty needed a second spray. Unfortunately mud had gotten inside Frosty’s nail so it had to be cleaned out and cut back (slide 7).

14/05/2024

Most mornings at least one of the pumpkins (Alma, Luna or Willow) is in a cheeky mood and wakes up the other woollies. Poor Flora was the main target this morning. The day started with a pretty sunrise but unfortunately then came the rain so the woollies are back in the stables.

30/04/2024

Little Homer 🐏 was trying to tussle Daisy and Lily again. He’s banned from tussling because he always injures himself so he was moved on. Another spectacular day ☀️ for the woollies today. This time everyone went for a walk to the long grass. They parked up and spent the afternoon there.

25/04/2024

The stroppiest of them all, Lily lamb (technically a ewe) looking relaxed after causing a big fuss this morning 🫠. She was limping and had to have her hooves treated. As usual she made it difficult but heavy rain was coming so it had to be done. Thankfully the rain didn’t come until late afternoon which gave the spray enough time to work. The woollies are back snuggled up in the stables with a rainy night ahead.

14/04/2024

Big rainbow over the woollies this morning 🌈. The storm has gone so the woollies were able to dry out in the sun. Beans🐏 was a bit grumpy after the storm and he wouldn’t have his medicine this morning and he was shoving any woolly that got close to him. Thankfully after a snooze in the sun (slide 7,8) he was back to his normal self by the afternoon ☺️.

Willow🐑 and her friends Alma and Luna trying to get into the garden today. Sorry Willow no time right now. After the rain 🌧️ yesterday the woollies were much happier today when the sun ☀️ came out. Willow was being cheeky and jumping up on the other woollies. Beans 🐏 stood up on Beans hill and enjoyed the view.

27/03/2024

After getting stuck behind a fence yesterday Willow was busy doing some power posing today. She also has a new charcoal pinstripe. Meanwhile the woollies had their weekly zinc drench today and it gave poor Frosty an upset belly (slide 5). Thankfully by the afternoon Frosty was up and looking happier ☺️.

23/03/2024

Where are my pellets! Flora🐑 has had enough and was demanding pellets all day. Sorry Flora the pellets went mouldy but your human will get some more next week for sure. The woollies have rejected their new batch of premium hay. It’s not good enough for them so most of it was given away 🤦‍♂️. However it appears they like one of the last ones thankfully.

20/03/2024

Nice relaxing day for the woollies today. The gates were all open so they got to please themselves. Little Homer🐏 was being silly and tried to tussle Lily again. Lily is feisty so that’s a bad idea, and sure enough Homer broke one of his horn stumps clean off (slide 5).

18/03/2024

The woollies got a nice surprise first thing this morning when their human opened the gate to one of their favourite paddocks. It’s been shut for 6 weeks to let the grass grow. They raced out for a munch. The good weather ☀️ is back but it’s a little cooler so perfect for the woollies now that their winter coats are starting to get thick.

15/03/2024

Mr Smoochy Beans🐏 hopes everyone has a great weekend ☺️. He has purple hooves because he had messy hooves that needed to be cleaned and he had a precautionary spray at the same time.

12/03/2024

Frosty🐏 put on some eye shadow this morning. Looking good Frosty. The woollies like having their ears warmed if it’s been a cold night. It was zinc drench day today and Daisy spat some of hers out (slide 5). This isn’t good because they all get a precise amount based on their weight. Willow’s ears are a little sunburnt so she had some sunscreen put on today.

08/03/2024

Mr Smoochy Beans🐏 came into the garden today. He raced around and had a great time ☺️. Unfortunately he didn’t find any pellets waiting for him up on the deck but he had an extra long munch on his favourite shrub. When he came out all the woollies had disappeared. Poor Beans got a little worried but we found them having a lamb adventure down the hill.

Once a year the woollies shed their thick winter coats for summer (they are a self shedding breed who do not need to be sheared). They wear wool hats made out of the loose wool and have a competition to see who wears the best hats. Winner gets treats. The winner is normally announced in January but this year the woollies human dad forgot so here goes…. The winner of the 2023 wool hat competition is 🥁… Daisy! Again, she also won 2022. It was close but once again Daisy couldn’t be beat. Her mother Flora came second (last slide). Congratulations 🙌 Daisy you will get your treats very soon.

Fanta🐏 made himself a nest out of the remains of his hay bale overnight. If you saw the post about Homers swollen jaw then good news the antibiotics worked. Slide 5 is Homer on Saturday, slide 6 is Sunday, and 7 is today, all better ☺️. Meanwhile Willow had a two hooves forward Monday and there was a pretty sunset last night.

Dark clouds ☁️, and rain 🌧️ is forecast but the woollies are locked out of the stables! These woollies need a wash and everyone voted for them to stay out. Meanwhile they got some new hay and have been enjoying it. Unfortunately Beans doesn’t like it though 🤦‍♂️

The woollies went for a test drive in their lamb RV today. Everything went well 🙌. Flora🐑 got extra treats for being the only woolly brave enough to enter the lamb RV on her own. It took awhile to get them all in but they travelled well once they were in. Unfortunately it did get hot in there fast so Beans’ human dad will need to clip more wool off Beans. 🚗 The woollies hit the road for the big journey to their new home on Monday. It will take three days so stay tuned next week for daily updates on their progress.

The woollies (group 1) have made it to their new home! Willow and her friends made it safe and sound. They were stressed at first but settled down and travelled well. Please note due to travelling we won’t be able to post everyday for the next week.

The woollies are moving to their new home soon! (See yesterday’s post if you missed the news). Willow and the pumpkins were going this week but it’s been postponed until next week (due to the weather). Beans’ human dad has got them a large 3 horse float and he has turned it into a lamb RV to try and make the journey as comfortable as possible. He brought a special rubber anti-fatigue mat and put another foam layer underneath. So there are 3 mats in total to make sure Beans🐏 is as comfortable as possible. He has also installed a camera so he can watch the woollies while driving. These woollies will also be travelling by sea because they have to do a ferry ⛴️ crossing to the South Island of NZ. Meanwhile Herbie and Poppy went on their first lamb adventure today. They couldn’t believe all the grass and the large space they discovered. Thanks so much for all the wonderful messages of support yesterday ☺️. It’s been stressful and difficult but we are almost there 🙌.

Now that all the rain has gone Herbie and Poppy were back in the garden again today. They loved it 😻. 📣📣📣 PS Baby Beans will be back tomorrow with his big announcement 👀

Record breaking mess! Heavy rain 🌧️ all night and most of the day so the woollies made their biggest mess ever 🫠. Both stables had to be completely cleaned out of all bedding. They tried to get back in while their human was cleaning but they had to be locked out. Beans, Frosty and Poppy snuck in though. Thankfully by late afternoon the weather cleared 😅.

Herbie trying pellets for the first time. He liked them but didn’t do much chewing. He has sunburnt ears so he came in to have sun cream applied. Meanwhile Willow’s friends Alma and Luna broke into the garden this morning and pretended they were starving 😁.

Herbie and Poppy living their best life’s ☺️. It felt like summer for the first time today. Everyone got a little overheated in the afternoon sun.

Rainbow over the woollies this morning 🌈. Then Herbie and Poppy made a mess and helped trim the areas the lawnmower missed.

Lily lamb is not messing about, she is in it to win it🥇. The 2024 wool hat competition that is.

Fanta🐏 has been looking a bit down for a couple of days and today his human noticed he was limping. He came in for a hoof treatment so he’ll be feeling better now. His human didn’t come off unscathed though 🩸. It started raining 🌧️ while we were doing it so Fanta had to stay in for 20 mins while his hooves dried. Lily has big handfuls of wool falling off now. New rescues Herbie and Poppy managed to have their afternoon play in the garden just before the rain arrived.

Ok turns out Beans’ human dad wasn’t seeing things and there are two lambs 🙌😁 (see yesterday’s post). Folks meet Herbie (Herbert). Herbie is a very cute and affectionate little boy who almost didn’t make it but now he’s running around with new rescue Poppy. I mean one lamb is never enough and they always need a friend ☺️. 🐏 Herbie is bigger and about a week older than Poppy. His mother had triplets but unfortunately she had a very difficult birth that required a vet. Sadly two died before they were born. Herbie was born first but because the mother was struggling he wasn’t able to get the critical first drink. When the mother was brought in for the vet they didn’t notice Herbie! Poor Herbie had no chance because he was already running out of energy. Luckily Beans human dad noticed him after hearing a baa while out walking. Stay tuned for more about Herbie. You can tell them apart by looking at their nose. Poppy has dark markings around her nose and Herbie doesn’t.
