The woollies were let out to go wandering today. When their human went to find them they were all the way over on the far side of the property snoozing and munching on long grass. They found some very lush grass with lots of clover which they love. Beans🐏 was snoozing like he had found his new happy place ☺️.
Biggest lamb adventure ever! Beans human dad opened the gate to the largest area for the first time. The woollies couldn’t believe how much grass and space there was. They were a little naughty and went too far and wouldn’t come back. Finally they did though. This area needs to be fenced as soon as possible. There is another side to the property they haven’t even visited yet.
Fanta🐏 normally doesn’t have his wool clipped until January but it had to come off for his long road trip next week. Luckily it was quite loose because he has just started to shed. Everything went well except for when he peed on his human dad’s foot. He was very grubby underneath. Beans🐏 also still has a few thick areas of wool that had to come off.
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.
