Wind is of course very drying and as it all quietened down and we took the dogs for an evening run on our 3 acre fields, we remarked that the land was probably the driest it has been for weeks and weeks. We have toyed with the idea of putting the sheep back in the top 3-acre but run the risk of them shedding a few worm eggs on the pasture. As the cows were the last to graze on there, in theory the pasture could be quite clean and we don’t want to jeopardise that!!! We are due more ‘weather’ this coming weekend, courtesy of Storm Brian – this one may hit us a bit more directly!!!
It is comforting to know, always, that all our animals have somewhere safe and secure to go in times of bad weather – as indeed do we!!
