My new sheep arrived yesterday. Two white Lincolns, two black English Leicesters and a black Corriedale.
Ethel and Lulu didn't know what had hit them. Cecily immediately switched loyalties and went off with the older women, she didn't give a damn what Ethel and Lulu did now.
Ethel has slowly been won around by the others, she's into flock mentality as well.
But Lulu is beside herself. She kept running up to the house yard, baaaing away and then running back to join the flock then back to me, then back to them.
Michael feed them some oats last night. As per normal, Ethel and Lulu went in for the kill, shoving Cecily out of the way. Then came the new girls and they bunted Lulu and Ethel well out of the way. Seniority rules!
