Albans Barnyard – holiday cottages & smallholding + Pedigree Jacob Sheep & North Devon Red Ruby Cattle
For as long as we have been here there has been a large patch of mint growing in our hay field. The sheep will not eat it (not even when it’s in the hay) so they obviously don’t find lamb & mint a good combination! Have they heard rumours?
They had to investigate the empty feed bucket though – with the inevitable result!🪣😂
I'm with the sheep on no mint.
UPDATE: well, after further inspection we worked out that the ropes tying on the cover were cut rather than frayed so the cover was probably stolen – especially as the frame wasn’t damaged – which it probably would have been if the cover had flapped on it for any time. Unfortunately we weren’t insured as we had assumed it was too heavy to take away & as it couldn’t be covered for storm damage the extra insurance fee wasn’t worth it – live & learn!!!
Disaster! The cover to our cattle shelter has blown away and we can’t find it! It’s huge & very heavy so it must have been quite a blow to break all its tie ropes and carry it off.
We’re off on a hunt for it now but news of any sightings of a large green sheet travelling through the air (and hopefully its landing spot!) would be gratefully received! 💨⛺️🌳
Good luck x
Shared on the Matfield page for you in case it’s come this way.
Oh no! Do you want some of us to form a search party?
Nooooo how much is a new tarp??
So sorry to hear this! 😢
Hopefully the frame isn't damaged,
It’s that time of the year again! The rams are in with the ewes and they haven’t wasted any time ❤️
We had a works outing to the V&A to see the Cartier collection and we just couldn’t resist seeing how our lovely ram (also called Cartier!) would look in a tiara! ChatGPT gave him a bit of a polish too!💍👑😂
Very poshx
Suits him 🤴🏻😄
He looks fabulous!
