This morning we did the big spring job of sorting out the ewes and lambs - vaccinations for the lambs (and the six from last year got a top up since I had leftovers), everyone got tick spot on and foot dip to prevent foot rot, the adults got a foot trim and vitamin/mineral drench and dagging round the rear to prevent faecal buildup. Because we had to dismantle the footpath we used last year and we didn't have any membrane, today we improvised with a bucket and made everyone stand in it 😅 the ewes did look so funny though when we held their front feet in it while they were on their back, like they were at a spa!
We are now both extremely sore and tired. My back is killing. I can't wait till we have our proper race set up round the barn with the footbath in it. I really want one of the special turning crushes too so I wouldn't have to lift and tip them to clip their feet! All in time...
Негізгі бет mani-pedi day for the sheep!
