Shearing The Rams In April -Something New On The Farm

April 29, 2019 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Autumn Changes on the Farm

November 9, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Another season and another change on the farm. The rams have gone off romancing the ladies. We sent the new Suffolk rams off earlier which I said would be a good idea. Until they had already gone and started and I remembered about a certain #farmbaby2017 being due three weeks before. Oops. They had a … [Read more…]

August 12, 2016 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

So one day this week, Hubster asked if the children and I fancied a road trip. It was only to Tarporley, a town about 30 miles away but it was to look at some rams. Many sheep farmers buy new rams at this time of year, ready for tupping which takes place between September and … [Read more…]

November 8, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 6 Comments

I haven’t written about ‘proper’ farming for a while. I suppose #farmbaby2015 has overtaken what I’ve got to tell you about but that all changed yesterday as love was in the air at the farm. The rams went to spend a few months with the ewes (lady sheep) for love, companionship and maybe definitely more. … [Read more…]
