Gosh the weather has been so hot – and just when we are all still in lockdown.
Normally, we are dodging the spots and trying to find a dry day to get the sheep shorn but this year it has been quite different and we have had no worries about shearing time!
The sheep were shorn in the morning, pitched and reunited with their lambs by lunchtime – there was quite a lot of bleating till they all paired up again but now the ewes (and Rodney) are very happy at having lost their heavy winter coats.
Looks like this lamb is asking the ewe if she’s his mum!
Sadly, Covid restrictions are still in place in England – these are due to be reviewed by the Government on 4th July 2020.
We hope that the restriction of not staying away from your home will be lifted and we will be able to welcome you back to Hicks Farm.
Keep safe.
