Sheep safely off site

Sheep all taken to St Catherine's Hill waterworks for Christmas and plenty more food!

thin sheep check

We have been over to have a look at the thin sheep. No obvious things wrong  most likely it needs worming which we will be doing when they are take off.

Thanks

Tues 22nd Nov

Sheep were grazing well when I arrived, got very excited for some treats as ever, and I've topped up the bucket. Trough nice and full still. I am a little concerned about the pale brown wether 01000 as he does look skinny, i think it is his age though. I will report it to the grazing team. Thanks all

All sheep have been fine every day this week

Tues 15/11 all fine

 26 soggy sheep looking good after rainstorms.

All lookers reports have been good this week - all sheep seem fine!

Saturday 12 November 2022

 All 26 enjoying the sun on the hillside, and ran to me in the hope of nuts! The old sheep still has a cough but is with the rest of the flock, up and active. 

Tues 8th

 All looking perky. No. 00010 seemed fine. Couldn't catch him anyway.

Brown ram no 00010 looking a bit unwell at lunchtime

Hi all, the lighter brown of the 2 brown rams (not Gerry) wasn't looking great when Pam visited today. He was sitting separately from the group and although he was finally tempted out by the sheep nuts he wasn't looking quite right. By the time I visited at 2:30 he had perked up and was just as enthusiastic as the others to see me and the sheep nuts. So let's keep an eye on him - he has a yellow ear tag and is a paler brown than Gerry. He does have a long-term cough so that isn't too much to worry about unless it gets worse. I suspect it is the dire cold and wet weather we are having, so hopefully teh weather will improve soon.

 All 26 on good form in the rain and active, especially when they saw we had a few nuts in the bucket. 

 All the sheep fine on Thursday morning and very friendly once they realised we have some sheep nuts in our hands!! Martin and Di

 Wednesday 2 November

Sheep all standing up grazing when I arrived. Very alert, they moved en masse when I approached.

Tuesday 1 Nov

 All 26 well, as far as I could tell. Mostly hiding in the woods at the end to avoid the storms.

Pam reported that the sheep were all looking very relaxed this morning. Felt a bit mean making them get to their feet! They were all walking fine though and no problems spotted.

 Sheep all looking fine on Sunday. Grazing down in Bay 3 when we arrived.

Saturday 29 October

 All 26 present and ok

Sheep all looking good

A few of us met up on site this afternoon to check on the sheep. They are settling in welland looking really good. They enjoyed a few sheep nuts and went back to happily grazing the chalk grassland. There is plenty for them to eat and fingers crossed they'll do a great job and maintain their condition well.

Sheep added to site today

Sorry for the sudden message, took a little time to get onto the new blog. 26 shetland sheep have been added to site today, the water trough is full currently and looks to be 2 water carriers full near it as well if needed. Thank you for a looking to come and let's hope for no issues!

Thanks
