What a way to cool down!!! On Saturday we had our sheep sheared to help keep them cool in this lovely weather already for when they go to the other fields. Our dairy cows also cooled down by being washed and clipped ready for the up coming shows. Everyone all worked together and came up with a good system with the sheep as after shearing we gave them a vitamin drench. With there always being a chance for some lamb cuddles.

Then as it the Easter holiday we open the club up for members to come to farm on Wednesday to come down and spend some social time together. This included some training and the first water fight of the year. We also had most of our herdwick lamb born over the last week.
