My doe and fawn had another with them this morning...this may be dad although it is a bit early for rutting and also I can see no antlers.
The last 2 days have been very windy and raining, not the best conditions for Sandalfarm but the animals are all hardy sorts. Aryanne is the only sheep not plastered to the top wall, although she is easiest to identify of course. Cloud doesn't mind the rain, it's the mud that is her problem. We have had a reasonably dry summer and the field is in good condition so hopefully mud won't be a problem for a month or two.
Little ram lamb has torn off one of his little ram lamb horns. I'm glad it is cool as it has stopped the flies from infecting it. They get them caught in the fencing, we have often rescued sheep with horns. Why the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence when they are on open moorland is beyond me.
I have only 3 days left to go here at the farm. Ralph is staying on another week to complete on the 16th. Our buyers are looking forward to settling down here and I trust in them my precious animals.
Feeling weepy now. Goodbye Sandalfarm.
