Farmer Writes: mule ewes make it an expensive weekend

These 23 hoggets will settle for a couple of weeks; then the plan is to vaccinate them against the two main abortion diseases (toxoplasmosis and enzootic). In early October, a Texel ram will be introduced, and after that they’ll integrate with the rest of the flock. They will never look as sweet as this again, and some may even be unrecognisable this time next year.
