We have cleared Nether Whitlaw of sheep, returning the flock to the farmhouse poly tunnel. Today we transported another nine sheep from Bowden, there is only four left now to transport from this grass keep before the tenancy finished on the 28th.
Today I purchased and placed two glade air fresheners into my flat block stair well.
The breed of these cattle is named Limousin, a French breed of beef cattle from the Limousin and Marche regions of France.
Pheasants and Jackdaws gather in the farm yard and peck at spilt chaff.
Today I have quit smoking; tired with coughing my lungs up. Early morning the temperature dropped to -7c; everywhere is coated in whiteness, my favourite time of the year in bonnie Scotland.
Midday we drove to the Eskdalemuir forest, from the north turning west before the village we followed the Roman and Reivers footpath towards Loch fell.
As we pulled into Longtown cattle market, there was a long dual queue to offload our sheep.
Charlie finished building the paddock perimeter fence, in worry of the Herdwick ewe and lamb jumping the stone wall.
Strange fungus growing on the farmhouse paddock, I am not aware of the name, but the sheep on the paddock sure seem to keep their distance from it.
