Bringing pregnant ewes home

Today was the day we brought the pregnant ewes back to the sheep farm.The first group was a small one, and on the way to the farm we picked up another group. In each group was a ram too, but they gave us no trouble.

We walked the streets and the fields to the farm, but there were only a few cars who had to slow down behind us so we were quite relaxed on our walk. The sheep even decided to try some grass along the way.

When we left the road, we walked via a small path to the big fields.There was a long line up there, really funny!

But then we got on to the big fields.

There is always one, isn't there? A ewe who gets a bit annoyed at Jessie because she urges her to follow. But nothing Jessie couldn't handle, though she had a bit of a stand off with this ewe. The ewe gave up in the end and rejoined the group.

We had to make the sheep jump over some ditches, that was a bit exiting and some of us got wet feet ( Not me, I have Muck Boots! ). Finally, we reached home...

The beautiful Suffolk ram didn't want his picture taken, but Jessie held him for me so I could taken one anyway.

A job well done, thank you Jessie!
