Rounding up for flu/tets

[greydales]

What a mission!!

Five of them had to be done today and fortunately I had Anna to help. First of all brought Gem in (who was good as gold) then Saturn and Dancer. Poor Toby realised he was on his own and had a little manic moment galloping up and down the field, before we got Cherry and Olivia and put Dan in with him.

The two girls were complete pains! Not having had much in the way of handling since they moved into the winter field it was like trying to hold two bulls, I only managed to keep hold of Cherry as I had only just wrapped the leadrope round her nose! Olivia was rearing with Anna and it was a miracle we got them in, especially as Dan didn't help matters by bombing off .

All were duly jabbed and very good, then C & O were put into the field with Gem, Toby and Dan. There was much galloping around, scattering of sheep, and Dan being nasty to poor Gem, until peace was restored by all going back into their respective fields!

It would be so much easier in the summer when I don't have to cope with gale force winds too ......

i think you deserve to put your feet up after all that gill!!

Yep, I don't envy you one bit. Bad enough having Dan's needle phobia (which I think Blossom has too), but to have Cherry and Olivia charging about as well Definitely good you had Gem finished first so as not to have them as 'role models' for the jab.

Kick back and rest up a bit. Gosh your hands must hurt after all that!

Good grief Gill, that sounds exhausting! All done for another year!
