After a very wet August and September, the early part of October had a very warm spell which gave the grass another growth spurt so although the fields are still very soggy there is a bit of grass about for the various groups of ewes, some running with tups since 13th October. The cows and calves are in now but the in-calf heifers are still out, and the blue greys are still on their scabious marsh field. A trip to Newcastleton in Scotland has resulted in six new additions to the cattle herd, three heifers the same age as the fen group, and three babies, only six months old.
