Title: Sheep DIY (lots of pics sorry)
Post by: Remy on April 21, 2012, 10:49:40 am

My gang of last year's ewe lambs are such characters, they include Susie lamb (rejected twin), two Zwartbles and three Gotlands.  The biggest character is Betsan, a twin Gotland who is like a dog and I'm sure I could train her to do tricks (as if she doesn't have enough of her own!).  We have been fencing and to say they got involved is an understatement - they were into and on top of absolutely everything.  A pile of excavated mud on a tarp was duly kicked off and scattered all over the place, the tractor link box was explored and everything inside sampled (including bags of nails and staples  :o), any tool standing up was pulled down, jackets were dragged across the field, setting cement was wallked in and eaten, gates which had been set on blocks were rubbed on and pushed over, and the tractor provided a great centrepiece of 'catch-me-if-you-can' when we'd had enough of them.

Here is the evidence!

Aha whats going on now

Well they aren't dull company that's for sure. Do you think sheep can tell if their owner is a big softie and will forgive them anything?  ;D
