Welshman crossed the bridge to farm in Dorset

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Last few fields to tidy up before getting into lambing fields. Ewes glad to be on drier ground

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

All the twins on turnips, home next week, have not seen blue sky for a while!

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Feeding the triplets, looking good this year on 3 day moves, plenty of grass!

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Been a big week getting scanning done, ewes sorted and back out to the remaining winter keep.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

New handling system working well! Pleased with ewes condition after a slightly damp Autumn.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

How good is your counting??

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

@IanDHorsley When you start asking the dogs to ‘please just get the sheep in’ you question how well you have trained them!!

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

@NeilFell2 I expect you will dip a few there today!!!! May stop in at the end of the day when the tea and cake is coming out!

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Possibly spend more time looking for these than I do checking the sheep!!! Always good to see.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Last paddock to tidy up for the summer, greening up nicely in the background.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Test the dogs (and fencing) with this mob

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Nice to see these about the farm this morning.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

@PhilKent9 How many ewes you got going mate? How soon do you want them gone? And lambs or you got the ground for them? Should get a chance to chat later in week, once the hay is done.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Grass Measuring rules. If able to lose child in the field, get sheep onto paddock. Once child has been found, move sheep into next paddock.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Are new born lambs getting faster over the years? I don’t think I am slower, it must be genetic, they are definitely faster than they used to be.

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

@keating_joseph You really want to discuss this Joseph?

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Setting up lambing shed, my lad spent an hour climbing up and down the pens. Loving life!

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

Finished weighing and BCS for this scanning, 57931kg of sheep in this mob, they will soon get through the cover crops!

[garbeynon @garbeynon1]

95% taken in the first 2 weeks which is usually a good sign. Scanning next Saturday. Fingers crossed!
