Dorset lifestyle
Not quite a headbutt, but Elton is trying to teach Jago what to do, not sure Jago will ever get the hang of the process – three paces back, on your hind legs and then CHARGE! Gentle rubbing of foreheads will have to do. Jago may be bottom of the pecking order but he’s first in line running for a willow branch. A misty start to a cooler day that ended with a lovely sunset, some of the leaves on the trees are starting to develop Autumn colours, they may stay green for a few weeks yet.
Walter and Digby squaring up to each other with Bianca watching, they each take a few steps back before rearing up on their hind legs and charging at each other with heads down, the sound of skull crashing against skull is a bit alarming. The younger ones especially like to play this game every day, usually just before dusk, and not just the wethers, Pixie joins in and occasionally Nola. If the older sheep really want to interfere they approach from the side in defense of their offspring. A cold and cloudy overcast day with light winds, the woodburner was alight and roaring all day.
