Wednesday 8th January

All 49 sheep accountable in the central compound.  14 x WFW & 35 Shetland.
In good shape apart from:

WFW 109 - Limping pretty badly, but willing to run over for food. I've sent a video to Bea for the Grazing Team. Photo below

Shetland (number unknown) - right horn encroaching into right eye. He's eyelid is now closed. Photo below

As mentioned yesterday (or Monday) lots of foliage on their coats. I had a little pampering session and managed to pull alot of the twigs off but WFW 109 with the limp is the worse. Understandably, he won't let me get close.

All Gates and fencing ok. All 3 troughs were frozen, had to break the ice and have placed a branch in each trough to avoid freezing completely. 

Sheep nuts tub just over 1/2 full.

No dog or walkers seen.
