Wow, my grass is green but then I guess thats livin in Wales for you.

Used to live down there on the south coast, I've had to relearn all my gardening now I'm in Wales.
Completely different climate. ;D

Bloody awful innit?
I feel like I'm farming in a desert.
Having said that, I have one normally boggy 10ac (ish)field on a water meadow that has been dry all summer and has grown enough grass to keep 73 ewes from March-now. :excited:
-
They are looking good :thumbsup:
I agree - bring on some rain!
-
Cor, that looks dry :o
Very green in Powys and just starting to rain.
-
peeing down today :raining:
yipee!
-
What breed are they? Cluns or Shropshires - they look like Cluns to me but I may be wrong. But very nice looking flock x
-
Sheep are looking very well - can't say the same for the grass!

Hi Feldar
...... your ewes look lovely :thumbsup: ,
..... we graze mashland, which is as hard as a rock at the moment ! :-\ , but I must say, the cattle and sheep do still look well ,...... :thinking: I guess the dry grass must still hold a good nutritional content

Lovely looking flock :love: gosh, you have had a dry summer compared to us :o

They are Hampshires, but there is a couple of open faced ones in there so they do look like Shropshires!
