I let the sheep and the lambs out into the far paddock today, having spent the day ensuring that all the little holes in the fenceline had been effectively repaired. I needed to install a gate betwen that field and the very back one (it only has wire fencing and not anti-sheep stuff so we can't let them graze there although I am looking to fence some of it off because the grass at the front is really good quality).The little lamb rejected by his mother is now with the rest of the flock and as you can see from the picture he has mastered the art of self-feeding finally which means no late night or early morning feeds from me!
This week we finally begin the task of finding contractors to renovatethe milking barn and turn it into a cheesemaking facility. We'd like them to start around the beginning of next month so that everything is ready to go by May/June.
