Busy day today sorting some of the sheep out ready to go out on different grazing sites. I delivered some Manx loaghtan lambs to Tyne riverside country park where they will be grazing the Wildflower meadow on the Battlefield site for a few weeks. When the weather is warm enough for the flowers to start growing they will be moved off until later in the year when every thing has finished flowering and set seed.
Having the sheep here allows the Friends of Tyne Riverside group to learn more about grazing livestock and the management of the meadow for conservation.
