I’m going to have a rant
Why ?
Because I can 🫣

Me and storm are working so bloody hard to keep all going and I hate to admit defeat but to be honest the future’s looking grim

We are working with our sheep fleece to try to self sustain but as things are it’s impossible to work any harder alongside looking after 300 sheep of which 100 are now old and need more care

I try to post positive posts to encourage veganism and help others move to a kinder lifestyle ( which takes time and effort )
Only to find there’s always a negative comment and think
Why the f**k do I bother

I see posts online that get 1000s of comments which is great for Facebook monetisation
Yet even with 70,000 followers we scrape by with a few comments yet views in the 1000s

I have watched and analysed content people are posting and see that other sanctuaries to get very little interaction
Yet an ai post that’s not even a real person gets millions of views

The other day I saw a man who was a farmer hugging a lamb, he had only one leg and 20 posts, all of which when you know, you could see were clearly not a real person
Yet literally 1000s of comments and shares - which equates to a lot of money from posting things that aren’t true

I’ve seen a massive difference lately in social media and it’s terrifying to be honest as many small sanctuaries rely heavily on interaction and support

It’s so deflating when you put up a post and you get little interaction other than a negative comment from an egotist

Use them or lose them - is what I’m saying
Simply because we are lost
Support real people working very hard
Not fake accounts from robots

What is the point in running social media and putting all the effort in if those you post for can’t be arsed to even comment
Yet they cooo over something that’s not even real without even knowing it

And it’s not just me moaning
I see huge pages without any interaction

Would you miss us if we vanish
I would miss you lot
But times are hard and if we cannot keep going here then we need to re route as it’s pointless putting the effort in as life is busy enough
Rant over
I want to add
We are truly grateful to our loyal supporters
Often all it takes is just a few kind words as life at times, especially doing such a difficult job can be draining
It’s a comfort getting words of encouragement

Now let’s see who actually reads and cares
💔🐑🖤

Nova the cuddliest sheep ever

I have managed to make two wet felted small rugs which are now online

They will soon sell so don’t miss out

Funds raised from the sale of our woolly gifts not only raise funds but they also help people to see the beauty of sheep. A lot of wool comes from cruelty but guaranteed- all that we make comes from family members that are safe and happy

Veegon trademark means that our sheep are alive and loved for life

Life is busy on the sanctuary and I often make quick easy snacks for a lunchtime nibble
Cheese savoury sarnie is delicious and Plantbased of course 😊
This mix also works really well in a pasty
If you would like the recipe then please say “vegan cheese 🧀 “
Please note - there are a lot of vegan cheese options if cathedral is not for you / rather than post a negative comment , simply help others by sharing a different cheese option
I work hard to find time to do posts to help people move to a Plantbased diet I really don’t have time to debate

If you have nothing good to say
Say nothing at all
🙆‍♀️

Chocolocca and the older sheep have now moved from the summer accommodation to the winter barn as the area is getting wet

We love it when they go to the Cosy big barn ( will do a video today of their cosy winter pad )

They still have access to fields but now have constant access to hay indoors if they choose

It’s important to maintain the older sheep’s body weight at this time of year when the grass has slowed down and has not as much nutrients

We love sheep 🐑

Our princess edie has been with us from a tiny orphan
Edie was born with a head issue that gave her a tilted head
But that just adds to her character
Edie is now around 15 years old

She now lives closer to home in our special needs area along with many other older residents, she still lives a normal active life but less strenuous than being in the big flock

She loves retirement and all the luxury that goes with that 🐑❤️

Please support our work as we cannot physically work any harder
It’s impossible at this moment in time to earn enough money to be fully self sustainable

Just a small monthly donation goes towards hay, vet bills ( which are growing more and more ) straw, hard feed weekly bills, vitamins and minerals and so much more
Every penny goes to the animals

Chocolocca is one of our cutest little sheep and storm captured the character in one of her handmade felted sheep

These are made using hand dyed sheared fleece from our loved for life sheep

Each piece is totally unique and only one made

So don’t delay if you love this beautiful felty made by illustrated by storm

Your support is vital to keep our sanctuary open as times are beyond hard now

Haha little doll
She actually knows when she’s in trouble and walks back to her little barn but decided she’s not quite ready to go home
Butter would not melt in her mouth
Love this little one eyed sheep, she’s getting older now and a few weeks ago we pulled her out of her small flock as she always looked so sad
She loves her own space, but today Yoko joined her ( one of her crazy friends ) and she is now very content as they get lots of extras and no big sheep to bother them
We are so please with how the sanctuary is running as we really do care for our sheep and go our utmost to make sure every sheep gets what they need x

Sheep therapy - they are such a blessing . When your feeling a bit low you just go into the fields or barns and you are guaranteed to feel lifted

Everyone needs a “tink”
He’s such a character and loves attention
Only issue is - your not allowed to stop lol

At this time of year all sheep get protein, salt and mineral blocks which they love plus really good for them.

It does boost the weekly food bill 🫣
Which is already huge

Really worried about winter ahead
I’ve added a link ti help us stick up on minerals etc
Please help if you can

( Lamlac not needed though )
