Shearing
We sheared all of our sheep last week. Bennet, a friend from Harlech, was kind enough to come over to help do the shearing. A tough job on a hot sunny day. I know I wouldn’t have the skill or the stamina to do it. We don’t get paid much for the wool these days. The money we do get from the local depot just about covers the cost of hiring two helpers on the day. But it’s an essential process... [Read more]
Pumpkin Project
I thought it might be fun to keep a record of the development of two pumpkin plants grown by Lowri and Seren. We chose ‘Jack of all Trades’. No idea why, except the packet said they were ‘perfect for Halloween carvings’ which is something else we can look forward to. I’ll try and write a post every now and again detailing their progress. Soon the 7th of June two seeds were placed in 11cm... [Read more]
Garden Photos
I promised to post some more pictures of the vegetable plot. So here they are.
North Easterly Winds
We had some unusual weather conditions last week. There was a a realy strong wind blowing in from the North-East. It played havock with my vetgetable beds unfortunetly. My newly constructed hazel climbing frame was completely blown away together with most of the french beans that were just begining to cling to it. I’ve also got greenfly on my parsnips. Nowhere else, just the parsnips. So if... [Read more]
Manicure
We gave Jonesi, our welsh black bull, a quick manicure today. Not the usual nail scissors and buffing brush job however. Rather a quick wiz round each hoof with an angle grinder. He finds it a bit upsetting to be in the cattle crush naturally, but the actual trim doesn’t hurt at all. We’re rather desperate for rain here on the farm at the moment. It’s been astonishing to hear reports of flooding... [Read more]
Growing Up Fast
Dell’s growing up fast. She’s a lot bigger these days but still as energetic which makes it a bit harder to control her. I’ve started taking her with me when I go for my morning jog. It’s working out well. She’s staying at my heel even when I run through fields of sheep and lambs. With the recent hot weather we’re quite busy with the B&B guests already. I’m a little worried that... [Read more]
Eirlys Enjoys the View
The picture above is Eirlys, our Welsh Black / Solair cross. Her calf, the black one at her heal, is called Eira (welsh for snow, it was snowing when she was born). The cows are all out of the cowshed now and enjoying the fresh new pasture. The hedgerows and the whitethorn are in flower, all the birds a busy finding food for their new chicks, It’s a great time to be on the farm. A pair of red... [Read more]
