Well, that's our five tup lambs booked in to the abattoir and butcher for Monday 14th November. Despite my best intentions to get them away earlier this year, that's the same time as last year. Hey ho, must do better next year.

That was the earliest date the butcher and abattoir could take them and the abattoir don't like taking private kills in November, so I was quite lucky that the butcher's put them through as his lambs.

We're dagging the ewes and ewe lambs this afternoon, then putting Leo and Dickie into the field adjoining them, so that they can get a hint of what's to come, so to speak. Leo's so smelly now and he's getting warmed up on Dickie, much to HIS disgust. Hopefully, they'll all be ready to go on the 29th, when we open the gates smiley
