Some sheep and lamb photos
« on: April 10, 2015, 07:01:36 pm »
These aren't really very representative of what we do here (1200 ewes, 1100 of which are Hill North Country Cheviots and out of these 1000 are tupped pure, but only one in the photos!), but they are what time and the light allowed me to take, it was too hazy to get photos on the hill tonight.

Shetland ewes and lambs:

Great pics of lovely ewes and lambs in peak condition.  Good grass too - ours isn't growing yet.  I love the Kerry Hill - so alert and smart.
