Shearing - not

What with the heavy rain yesterday, and that the grass was very wet, we decided that shearing was best left to next weekend.
As we have no history about the lambs, we figured it would be best to drench and vaccinate, so we brought them all in, and gave them a check over. There were a few with scabby mouth, a couple with feet needing trimming, and a few others that were in pretty good shape. Hopefully with the drench and some good grass they will put weight on. We also brought our 4 lambs in, and gave them there vaccinations – unfortunately one of the back faced lambs cut its foot in the yards, oh well.
Also we had noticed that the goats were a bit lame, so we caught them and trimmed their hooves, which are now looking really good.
