Bringing our Wildlife to you!
I had thought that after the Government’s Independent Scientific Groups report in June, that call for a Badger Cull had been put to bed once and for all. I expected the NFU to have their normal whinge, to try to show that they are an effective force in UK Farming. They haven’t been that for […]
Sheep can be really stupid, I have probably said that a few time before. We have six Sheep in a stable, four we are going to take to Market and two Portland Ewe Lambs we intended to keep. I would like to see them out, but they have broken out before and I don’t want […]
Sorry, as I am going to watch the Rugby there will not be a Diary tonight.
As I said in last night Diary, there is no way that Bliss and Misty are going to be ready for the Auction on the 27th of this month, at Doncaster. I must admit, that I really did not want the Fillies to have the trauma of the long journey from Taunton to Doncaster, to […]
Bliss had front shoes put on today. She was brilliant having the shoes put on. It was as if she had been having them fitted since she was born. It is good when Horses can be shod without any trouble, most are, but some Horses can be a pain in the neck, the odd ones […]

Breaking Bliss and Misty the Fillies is going very well. We think that they are enjoying it as there is not a lot of protesting. Bliss is a little sore on the foot that had an infection, a little while back. To get to the infection the Farrier had to cut back the hoof on […]
There are parts of the farm that we rarely visit, partly because we can see the places from a distance. This afternoon we went to the field that the hay that we sold earlier in the year is stacked. We gave the purchaser of the hay, two months to collect it. Two months because after […]
The land that we rented when we first move to Somerset, before we had purchased Denbury was to small for the amount of Sheep that I had purchased. If I remember correctly it was 117 Ewes that I had purchased all together. There would be ample grass through the Summer, but as soon as the […]
PM, I went and checked the Sheep and they were all there. One had managed to get to the other side of the fence. I should think that was the one you may have seen. The bank is the side of the stream that runs through the farm, and is about six feet down. If […]
