Everyone got shorn to-day! I got everyone, except for the babies, haltered up ahead of time for once. What an amazing experience. Shun kept us all in order with Helen’s help and between Simon, Robyn and myself we had a very smooth operations team. They were all pretty good, very different the way they handled the experience – I think it must tickle. We even got Ambrose and White Knight shorn. They all have different haircuts and differing styles of gorgeousness. I thought it would be so much harder and take far longer, 2 hours all up including coffee!

The Snip!
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Ambrose and White Knight were both castrated. I thought it would be a traumatic experience for us all. However with careful instructions from wonderful vet, Monique, and experienced help from Robyn it was fine. Both boys were calm and relaxed and didn’t seem to feel any pain. Afterwards they wandered back up the hill with the rest of the herd.
In the meantime Spangles decided that Lovely Linda was looking (smelling?) very attractive and she obviously thought he was alright too so we had another mating.
All good here
Thursday, March 19th, 2009Went went up to see the girls (and Boys) this morning. Girls weren’t where they usually hang out and that was a worry, what with that helicopter action. Eventually found them right down by the house eating the gorse. Ambrose is getting really tame, could have easily touched him, but didn’t. He did an amazing kick out at his big cousin White Knight. Naomi spat in the food, no-one else was very interested after that. Took these pikkies.
