Sheep Rehomed

As sad as we were - in some ways! - to see them go, it was a great relief to rehome the sheep in July. After many offers from folk wanting them to barbecue or freeze, we were very pleased to find excellent permanent homes for them. Six of the ewes we delivered to join a small breeding flock in Wales, and the remainder were sold to the National Trust to graze over 400 acres.
