Busy day, been weeding our kitchen garden, we have so many vegetables to plant this year at Woodburn Farmhouse.
Dagging
Dagging is a method used by farmers that removes ‘dags’, dirty, wet wool between the legs, the tail, and the rear end of sheep.

Violet hoofs
Ewes and lambs are starting to suffer with sore hoofs, and some have mucky bums; this is a usual for spring time.
Flat Tyre
Two badgers terrified our lambs during the night, I checked on the welfare of these wee things, and they're OK this morning.
Topping
After shovelling the last of the muck [caked layers of rotting sheep poo and straw], enabling the tractor to gain clear access Charlie attached the topper to the rear of his ageing tractor and thus began vaporising hundreds of dock leaves between beds of nettles.
Burning
Looked down at the poly tunnel entrance this morning in hope of finding the cade lamb alive, but no, he's definitely leaped out of this world. Today we checked the grass keeps, at the first we penned off and oral wormed the flock, then sprayed them with a blue liquid against parasites.
