Mrs Down's Diary

Our flock of gimmers and shearlings have moved, with their new paramour Mr Texel, Tex for short, to a fresh field.

Apparently they were so overwhelmingly attractive to the tup in the next fiueld, a distinctly unattractive specimen, that he kept clambering over the fence on his side to share their delights with our tup.

John caught Mr Undesirable, put him in the trailer and back through the gate into his own field, and by next morning he was back in with our ewes with a satisfied smile on his face. And another hole in the hedge.
