Great piccies  :excited:


Kumquat - the one ewe lamb that we had last year, looks just like the two you have posted. Exact colour and markings. Beautiful aren't they?


Will try and post some piccies when OH can help me. No idea how to do it.  :thinking:

definitely - those two light mouflons are really friendly and normally lead the charge when it comes to feeding.
[/size]Although I've got a couple of shetlands and one soay with a touch of orf. I've put in a couple of salt licks and quick spray of septiclense to help it on its way. Purple lippy on a primitive isn't a good look  :innocent:

kumquat - ours had a touch of what we assumed was orf last year. Seemed to be self-limiting. It was nowhere near as bad as some images of orf that we looked at and cleared by itself in a short time. We did try spraying the purple stuff on them but it seemed to irritate them, they rubbed their heads on the ground and made it worse  ::)  so in the end kept a close eye on them and applied vaseline as a barrier (fly season) to a few of the worst affected. They had been nibbling thistles so maybe something to do with that and not orf ..... who knows .... but it passed very quickly.

Seems to be going quite quickly, the salt licks seem to be doing the job...definitely don't need to worry about flies  ;)  Ours have been having a go at a patch of brambles in hedge.


Brucklay....great photos - they are lovely sheep and great steppy stones  :thumbsup:

Lovely sheep and lamb so cute, how do you keep them in the field as my lambs often go walk about no matter what I do.

I keep shetlands and although very happy with them i'm tempted with the soays.
