The bicycle tyre was a welcome birthday present, he wasn’t sure whether to play with it or not so I picked a few sprigs of mint and put them inside to encourage him. He found them ok, and once eaten he stepped over the tyre and moved on to drinking his water and rolling over in the avenue. Maybe he’ll come back to it, the tyre is hanging on the post with his collar. The sheep have worms, very evident from the poo in the field so a sample has gone to the vet. Pasture management is a challenge, ideally the various paddocks would be left fallow for two years to make sure the worms don’t re-infest livestock. Not an option for us so a worming programme is necessary. A hot sunny day, more watering.
