Thanks, winter quarters all washed out and disinfected, just got some gates to modify, thinking of buying another coo or heifer sometime next year to take the numbers to 3.

Sam (son) turned up with 11 registered Easycare in lamb (to an easycare tup) gimmers this afternoon. Takes his female numbers to 55, they're due to start lambing 2 weeks after his Texels finish  ::) . It'll be interesting to see if they're as 'easycare' as they're cracked up to be.

Very envious you have lots of outbuildings! You can never have too many barns. Wish I'd known that before I bought this place (and spent an arm and a leg on erecting two galvanised barns).
