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 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.

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