The sheep have worms!
....not the ones we see wriggling around in the dirt, they have blood sucking worms called barbers pole. All the sheep must have some medicine or drench to kill the worms that are living inside them. Dad must squirt the medicine into the sheeps' mouths.
OPEN WIDE!
The sheep are gathered together in the drenching race.
My big sister counts each race and tallies the counts together to make sure they are all here.
We use dogs on our farm to work the sheep. A good working dog is as good as a man!
Last year our girl dog Pippa had pups, most of the pups left the farm to go and work on other farms. We kept two.
I called them Peppa and George.
They are 5 months old now are starting to work with the sheep. They have alot to learn.
Today Peppa is working with her Dad Gibson and my big sister KT.

What fantastic names. I think the next two should be Ben and Holly. These sheep look like they like medicine about as much as Henry!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea that is one of my favourite shows. I have a dam on the farm where Big Barry lives...deep down under the water!
