Sheep Shearing at Valley View

Now the lambs are all here and gamboling in the fields very happily, the next busy time is shearing the sheep.

John and Stuart can be seen hard at it whilst we have this lovely weather at the moment, although the mothers and their lambs do not take too kindly to being separated - even for short time while 'Mum' gets a haircut, and it can get very noisy while they call for each other!


The sheep in the photo is a North Country Mule and a good hardy breed for up here on the moors, there is still a small amount of availability in August for the cottages, so come and have a look at the sheep when they will be looking their best!
