Weekend plans at Great Gutton focus on the Sheep and Cider. First job on the list is a trip to a near neighbour to pick up a couple of ram lambs who will run with our Shetland ewes for a month or so. Introducing the rams now means lambing in April when hopefully the grass growth and weather are improving. Peggy is already coming up with names for the lambs. This weekend also looks to be the time to Rack off the cider. Having been fermenting for a month activity has slowed to an extent that time is right to syphon off the liquid from the sediment and to start the second fermentation. The end result will we hope be drinkable cider for Polly and Matts wedding at Gutton in August.
