Day 3 at Spring Grove. We had to treat all of the lambs and ewes in the nursery pen so that they could go back out to the field. The lambs had their tails banded, which makes the ends of the tails fall off. The ram lambs also had their testicles banded to make them into castrates. The ewes had their feet trimmed and treated, and were given injections to prevent against worms.
As well as treating the sheep in the nursery pen, we also had to help a Herdwick lamb whose eyelids were still sealed together - a gentle pushing apart of the eyelids sorted out that problem.
Take a look at our Day 3 video here.
