The Work Must Go On

Work with the sheep has to be carried out when it is needed and cannot wait for those on holiday. So dad had to get out the trimmers and tidy up the lambs who are nearly ready to go to market.

Back breaking work. Just as well he is off to see the chiropractor tonight!

Well the lambs all have clean bottoms now. I am sure you don't want to see so I will show you the pretty end instead!

If you wonder why they are so red it is the redding in our soil. Read "Return of the Native" by Thomas Hardy and you will read about Diggorry Venn the Reddleman who was actually red all over from handling the red dye redding used to mark sheep.
