Title: Off to the shows!
Post by: Dougal on August 11, 2012, 12:29:41 pm
Off to Tarland show today. Just a by stander today. I normally show my sheep but since they were only clipped last weekend they are far from being in show condition and I've had no time this week to get them picked out. :-\ Not happy because I love my day at the show with my few but not this year. That said It'll be good to get a chance to see the show for once, hope to see some of you there.

I have a week to get my lot ready...and without any buildings/barns etc to my name, keeping them looking nice with next weeks forecast is going to push me to my limit, me thinks! LOL!
My 3 lambs I am showing are getting as much nettle, thistle and blackthorn in their fleeces that will possibly fit, my Charollais ewes are deliberately smearing their entire sides with grass stains, my trailer lights are deciding to randomly not work despite all bulbs being replaced and my ram has outgrown his headcollar (that fitted him perfectly 4 weeks ago). hahah! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh to be a Spectator!
So, as the stress is getting to me, in my wisom, I have just posted my entry form for the next show...Frome cheese show..... in  4 weeks time! Madness!  ;D
