Title: My Gotlands are here
Post by: Roxy on June 17, 2013, 12:22:43 am
Collected Freya, Filly and Felicity today - and they are absolutely adorable!!
 
Little Gabriel was just being given his lunchtime bottle by Pedwardine when we arrived ....oh my goodness, he is so sweet.  He insisted on escorting us over to look at the ram I am having - who is the most beautiful colour, and he and his friends were more than happy to come to the fence to say hello.
 
The three ladies looked out of the window all the way home - which made me feel a bit sad really.  They were very good to unload, went right in the field, and started grazing. They are all wearing name tags which helps to identify them!!
 
They all look so well, and are a credit to Pedwardine.  This evening I went in the field, and they all ran up for a fuss, and let me stroke their gorgeous fleeces.  Its so nice to have friendly sheep!!

Poor Roxy,
thought I'd sent her girls off with no sign of Pinkeye and now Felicity has got it after being there just a few days. Feel so bad about it. AND her crummy vets won't let her have any AB's/Orbenin without first seeing the sheep in question. New sheep in big field means hard enough to catch for treatment never mind bundling into truck to take to vets. So sorry Roxy  :-[
