Put the hoggs inside toneet ready for tomorra, forcast rain from midnight till 5 am, they look in good order so hopefully they'll be peelers, bellies might be abit sticky, not so many wi bare bellies 
Gathered the moor and all the singles this afternoon, they to look in good order, afew already throwing there wool, hopefully get them done in the week, then only the twins to gather, think they might need a blow torch to get it off um
plenty of grass, abit later gathering so its got infront, should do um a while if the weather breaks

Hoggs got wormed afew week ago so don't need to ta do that, they'll just need some warm paint on when they get there jackets off then a taxi back to the moor. As ya say ewes un lambs ull get the full treatment, one gather and do the lot.

What's the script with the clippers? I'd be a bit pee'd if they left before the job was done and didn't come back the next day!..
Lambs are looking well (and your ewes!)

He’s angling for a decent chap from the Dumfies region to nip down the M6 and finish them off for him . Payment is tea and cake I believe!

Could say it was abit of a let down not finishing um, turned up late so had a feeling they wouldn't all get done.
I'll crack on and do a few more ewes today nice un steady, thowd backs not as good as it used to be.
