So the tractor is put to work yet again! This picture was taken in the sheep paddock (formerly the Pony Paddock). It is a much drier field than the Reedy Field where Cloud lives but it has more than its fair share of reeds.
What a transformation to have them down and shredded (the yellow device on the back of the tractor does both, it is flail mower).
Sadly for the first time we have evidence of worms in the sheep so the next job is to construct some sort of pen again to get them seen to. I hasten to add that it isn't MY sheep that have brought them in but an interloper from a neighbouring farm.
They need to have their toe nails cut anyway and Molly has lost her tag and the lambs from last year are now due tagging.
Shetland sheep are incredibly low maintenance and I am glad we got this little flock.
