Yesterday we shot sheep, until we ran out of vaccines, and wormed them, and put ear tags on a whole bunch.  Today the shearer comes along with a couple of herding dogs which might get the last ten wild ones in.  Tonight we’ll collapes!

Charlie, the first lamb of the year, has six horns!  She’s our first keeper to have that many.  We had a ram with six, but due to his confirmation we wethered him.  Charlie, being a ewe, can have fused horns, but we’ll take some good pictures first.

Holly and Sophie are here helping us manage all this, making quite a team over all.  Two days for this is the way to do it.  Fewer sheep next year I hope!
