Tucked up warm (sort of!)

I brought the first group of sheep in today, as with snow forecast for tonight I thought those having triplets would appreciate a bit of comfort and shelter. They were all wormed and stood in the footbath for a good 5 minutes each and then put in the big shed. It was so cold today that the little drip from the pipe supplying their water had formed an icicle on the ground even inside the shed! A fair few of the twin-carrying ewes will come in too this week, although they have been enjoying the dry weather and the little bits of sunshine each day, if its going to be wet and miserable they will be happier inside.
