With the recent increase in temperatures, the pressure was on to rid the ewes of their woolly coats. At a friends BBQ, there was talk of shearing and by last Sunday evening the sheep were shorn, tagged, counted and dosed up against the various pests and bugs that so often knock the ewes and lambs in the good weather. Here's John leading the sheep with the temptation of food and then Paul shearing them. All very hot and thirsty work although Paul was the one who did all the hard back breaking work. Afterwards we lunched in the garden as the ewes and lambs re grouped in the nearby field and everyone felt better for it!
