We
keep a small flock of sheep, primarily to keep the grass in good
condition as horses and ponies are very wasteful grazers. Our
current flock are commercial cross-breeds.

Eggs – and a great deal
of amusement - were supplied by our hens and ducks.
Unfortunately, fox activity around the farm has lost us all of our
ducks and the laying hens. We bought a couple more
pullets in the summer, but they are well past point of lay age now
and haven't produced anything at all!

Dundee: labrador
If Dee tried to be a gun-dog, he
would only embarrass himself; luckily, he has never had aspirations
to be anything other than a hearthrug.

Ming
Tiny
black and white yard cat whose hobby is to loathe and fight with
Persia. If Ming sees a rat, she will pretend she hasn't
and resolutely look in the other direction. Still, most
of them are bigger than her!
