Here comes the end of August and it’s all about the sheep as our teaser rams, George, Roger and Geoffrey are introduced to the sheep for a few weeks. They work hard to bring the sheep into season before they are replaced by the ‘big boys’ who are ready to go beginning of September – what a life! We use different colour blocks on their harnesses so we know which sheep are due to lamb and in which week – how organised are we.

This also helps reduce infestations and allows their fleece to grow ready for insulating them through the winter.
