Someone's having fun with their new toy !!!
I hope you'd be able to reduce the physical discomfort of otherwise beneficial nettles and also get to complete the whole project soon without any delays due to harsh weather.
I believe that's Mäx posing in the middle of white splendor ??
Look at Böckchen and Nücki! all furry again. Seems like only yesterday when you sheared these cuties into handsome lads.
When did you get Elton? I can't recall him at all.
Oh yes, the boys love the hay bag. Sometimes there's even a serious quarrel - it's possible that at the moment when I was filming, Böckchen had just been punched away... 🫣
The nettles are done for now, I won't have to think about them again for another four to five months. Yeah, then I can use the cool brush cutter again... 😉
The only important thing at the moment is the shelter. If the weather doesn't play ball, the sheep can stay with their previous owners until the end of the year.
Okay, it's all a bit tight in terms of time, especially as we're also in the Christmas period. But we'll manage... 🙄
Jo, that's Mäx of course. Unfortunately, he now has to enjoy the snow on his own and has no one else to play with. Nuka died in August. She was such a great dog! And she was an extremely responsible and good-natured guard dog for the three bucks, who also loved her.
We bought Elton as a lamb at the end of May. He is a genuine East Frisian ram (dairy breed), which should refresh the genes of the local dairy sheep. But unfortunately the farm has gone bankrupt and all the nice (joint) plans have been cancelled... 😔
But Elton is mine and the curious teenager in puberty is a lot of fun... 🤪
I'm sure there's a lot of punching but the good thing is they have a new fun activity to do. 😉
How you kept the sheep last year? Sent them to their owners?
Sorry about Nuka.
Have fun with Elton and other boys and I sincerely hope your pasture comes through in time.
I am the owner of the three bucks... The guys were here in our garden where they have a small stable. Actually they just use it (and their small shelter) when it's raining very hard.
Thank you... :-)
Have a nice weekend!
