Sudanpan, we work on 5 small bales per sheep per winter and that has always been enough.  So you would need 30.  You might not need them all, but best to be prepared 


Thank you all for your lovely replies.  They have helped to cheer me up, because the very next day I collapsed at our local agricultural show - managed to finish all my judging before I keeled over.  It gave the First Aiders something to do    I thought I was ok today, but still having problems, and so much to do but not able to do it

I guess the heat doesn't help.  Not that any of us want to grumble about it! 

Take care of yourself, hope things come right quickly

Take care Fleecewife - it's very easy to get carried away when there's so much to do and the weather is good, I'm the worst for that but we all want you to be well.

Thank you Sally and Claire.  Still rubbish today  but nothing like as bad as at the show.  We were going to bring in the ewes and lambs today but will just have to put it off.

Oh, FW, try to take it easy - for a while at least. Your health is more important than anything else.

FW thanks for the tip re the bales for the sheep 


Take care of yourself - working in the heat is never fun!

...sorry to hear that Fleece, relax, the sheep can wait.  I seem to regularly knock my pan in for a few days and then don't have the energy to lift my fork to my mouth at tea time or even have a conversation with the kids.  Take it easy and stop and smell the roses

Aw thank you everyone     I'm back to my usual self this evening, and freezing endless beans.  We've checked the ewes and lambs by sight, and there's just one little chap who needs to be looked at as he seems a bit scrawny so he will get a dose of wormer.  We put them on the hay aftermath so we can see them clearly - their other paddocks are so deep with grass that we can barely see the sheep
