to fetch the last remaining sheep grazing at Selkirk grass keep.

Charlie ushering eight ewes and one tup lamb into a multi-purpose trailer; stronger but smaller than those expensive aluminium trailers that end their usefulness dented.

The lamb tup was segregated into the paddock, he gazed at his eight ewes for half an hour before forgetting about their departure to graze. He was prolifically bullied by an elder tup at grass keep, so much they had to separated.

The poly tunnel is this year filled to half capacity, there are another thirteen ewes to transport here from grass keep, then we'll inject all of this flock with cydectin to eradicate and protect the flock from parasitic infestation. After receiving this cydectin injection the flock cannot be sold for four months!

All these ewes should be in lamb, were expecting the new-born lambs to be birthed between mid-Febuary to late March 2024. However our Zwartble could be earlier; Charlie doubts the Herdwick being in lamb this year and stated they'll be cade lambs to look after again.
