I put the sheep in with Toby and Gem as there is quite a lot of grass and the poor things were starving! It was not without the usual hassle, as all sheep didn't follow me into the field and I had to try and get the stragglers while not letting the others push back through the fencing (which they did  ). Then discovered a pony (must have been Gem) had broken the electric wire in two places and had to rush off and fix the wire while trying to keep the sheep from going into the next field!! Anyway, all was finally done and touch wood they are still where they should be (well they were last time I looked anyway!). Gem says 'this could be a good game'  Off she goes   Not sure the sheep agree!  That showed them who's boss  Hopefully all friends now!  Wonder where they'll be tomorrow ...  |

No, I've given up hope! Might as well remove the harness . Never mind, there's always this year ... Gem is showing a feisty little character, she was chasing Bryn earlier and really meant business LOL! Another Cherry in the making ;D |

;D poor sheep Oh dear maybe Jasper is not that way inclined or maybe his hormones are not at full strength yet. The first of the ewes in our field has lambed (Sun morning) should have been twins but one didn't make it got tangled up in the afterbirth or something so our neighbour said, it's just as well he took her back to the farm I don't think I could have done the job of saving the other one |

Our youngsters are the same with our Angora goats - when they first see them it's 'stamp and snort, what the H**L is that'  Then it's a case of 'oh good, something smaller than me to terrorise'  Think you should rename her Fly or Gyp - something sheep-doggy  |

That gave her a bit of excitement! She looks to be having fun - not sure the sheep are though! Are the sheep still in there this morning Gill?
