Busy, Busy, Busy

What a busy day I had today.

 First of all I had to move some sheep from one part of the croft to another.

I enlisted some help, but you all know that I was the one doing the hard work.
 Up the road. Towards me.
 Closer,
 and closer.

Er, yes, that's a windscreen wiper. Okay, so yes, I'm in the car. I'd better confess. And now I'm having to reverse all the way back to the house. Sheep...roads...priority. You've heard it all before.
 They were nicely behaved today, walking quietly passed the road into the house.

 Big Brother, his sister, DR and the kids liked to jump into the photos just to make is seem like they were doing the work. 

You all know better, though.

Into the pen for a bit of this and a bit of that.


 A pedicure,

And the lambs were marked. The Blue is Big Brother's colour; and the Orange shows the ram the lamb came from. (This is Mr Wayne's. Doesn't he look good!)

 And these are just cute.

  One of my nephews with a lovely Blackface lamb.

I'm done-in. All that work with the others just looking on. I need some hired help here.


And now, time to wind down

  6. Some great, close-up pictures! I find it so interesting to see all that you (and your help!) do around there. You definitely earned a good night's rest!

  11. Lovely pictures and sweet lambs. I bet you need to rest today after all of that work. :) I love the horns on those sheep. I want you to know that I totally forgot about you know the C-A-T picture. Next time I post any pictures I will leave you a note to warn you of a scary picture.
    My great grandmother who was Scottish, was the same way. I forgot until I saw your note.
    I was sort of the family weirdo in that I was so crazy about them.
    I understand though and will be more careful in the future. :)

  14. Beautiful sheep, just magnificent. They all look so clean and white!

    It is strange to see this sheep parade and not see any dogs helping. Great pictures from your windscreen.

  20. Can I welcome Linda, Kritter Keeper at Farm Tails, Backwoods Woman, Chai Chai and Se7en.... thank you all for visiting, and I hope we'll see lots of you in the days to come.

    Linda - the breed of sheep is the Blackface (or the Scottish Blackface, as it's sometimes called). They're hardy, though I reckon Big Brother molly-coddles his ones like no man's business (don't tell him I said that!)
