I've been busy dressing the troop's wounds. Turkey is dead though, so no point in treating it.
Still a few last minute sorties for fresh bread and an easy pizza snack after the event to offset sprout attack, but I'm reasonably sure that D Day will be a successful operation.
I hope you do not fall for the three hour parking rule some supermarkets have.

No, I got the troops back on board and made my escape under the cover of darkness. Managed to dodge the trolley collectors and returned to base.

Sprouts, food of the devil, along with any other green leafed vegetable that has to be cooked.
Eggs as well.
Just been to the farm shop to collect our turkey and ham. Its really quiet on the roads.
Stuff all the feeders for the animals this afternoon, and thats it until boxing day.

Give us your address Remote, we'll be there. Will bring beer.
Daughter had her ewes scanned today. Had a lot of singles last year, but a lot more twins this.
As she was busy, I did the animals still at the small holding.
Back home, walked the dog, opened a bottle of red and about to turn the remnants of the turkey into curry.

I think my family may have spotted my weakness for all things Bluebirds this Christmas!

I recognosed the fence around the slurry pit. Took me a minute to realise where you got the piccy.

I've followed your daughter's facebook page since they moved to their new place and I thought this was the most attractive ewe
I remember you saying you were following L&D which is why I went and had a look at their page for the piccy.I've followed your daughter's facebook page since they moved to their new place and I thought this was the most attractive ewe
The dots on their backs indicate how many lambs theyre carrying. If shes stuck to what shes done in the past, red is a single, blue is a twin. Where on the back the dot is signifies if theyre early in the tupping period (shoulder), middle (back) or late (rump). Its only a rough idea as the scanner is judging it on the size of the foetus. The Tups are usually in for 4 weeks. Sheep have a two week cycle so theyre left in for two cycles.
So the one in the piccy has a single, mid-tupping.
I think theyre due to start early march. Its a 5 month gestation and the tup went in around the beginning of Oct.
I thought the one by the shed had better conformation.......and clean knees!!
I dont know much about conformation. Always wonder what judges look for.
Mrs Remote is more interested in judging stuff. She marks the catelogue when she goes to the royal welsh. Usually horses, but often sheep. And what they look for varies from breed to breed aparently.
The sheep in the piccies are texel crosses. 5 or six generaltions ago, daughter started with Welsh mules and a texel tup. Shes always used texel tups and she puts her own ewe lambs back into the flock so they have become more and more texel over time.

We look forward to our invitations. Need to arrange coach hire, possibly 2 or 3.
Are you talking about BT? He has sheep foot holes in the front of his wellies. His motto, any holes a goal.
