Things have been very busy in the sheep department and all the clipping
and dipping has now been completed. The weather has been very kind this
year and there was no hold ups. On 29/7/00 we had a surprise arrival on
the farm because a very late lamb was born!
The figures for the amount of lambs born this year are in the table
below.

The Cattle
All is quiet on the cattle front at the moment. Our photographer has
now obtained a better picture of one of the Limousin bulls with some
cows.
The Crops
It has been very busy on the crops side of things as well, the hay
and the silage has all been baled and the potatoes and turnips are
doing fine. Again the good weather has helped in having the hay and
silage completed before the end of July.
