Goats and Chris!

The weather has improved and the goats are  relaxing in the evening sun.





The lastest on the goats

1 May 2012

Chick 1 week old.


9 little chicks and lots of duckling hatching now.

10 naughty little goats




Loving the little goats a total pleasure, they have such character and love to eat everything.
They're still on milk but grazing and nibbling too.


Chris hard at work shearing the flock!! just the 
Herdwicks at the moment but I'm sure the white ones will be done soon.

Moving Lambs Yesterday Evening



Lambs on the move! How many lambs can you fit in a Peugeot 205!
Answer eleven of Dorset finest! 1st class ride!





The weather has been really hot over the last week which is lovely for us but for the sheep wanting grass it's not sooooo good.

Chris out on the tractor



A Vintage Zetor 1966. She's been stripped down and rebuilt in full working order. Chris has plans to take part in the young farmers ploughing competition this Sunday so which this space for the results.

Bring Small Home!




This is Small, a tiny little lamb from work. She was one of a triplet and needs lots of bottle feeding so I thought it might be nice for us to have her at home with us!!  As you can see Pip loves her!
