Here’s recently shorn Benji tucking in at his beloved hay rack, even though everyone else is happily grazing. After owning sheep for only a few months it has become evident that they are individuals with their own likes and dislikes. Benji simply loves fresh, sweet, hay and positively skips with delight when he sees someone coming out with an armful to replenish the hay rack. Audrey, one of the Ryeland ewe lambs, is very timid and we are still trying to win her round. Anwen was also shy but she has now decided that it’s safe to eat out of our hands when we go into the field with some creep feed. Agnes is the boldest of the ewes and she always hangs back when we feed the others because she knows she’ll get more treats if she stands alone and looks up at us appealingly.
