The 18 month old bullocks (actually most of them are heifers). There are only 6 of them.

Gussie and Gertie don't sem too fussed about being behind bars instead of rooting in the woods. The first piglets are due in just over a month.

The hens hate to be caged.

The ewes would have been coming in ready for lambing by next week any way.

I hope this will be our only casualty. He should have been eaten earlier really. Every other time we have had too many cockerels (like the time I bought 4 Rhode Island cocks thinking they were young pullets), I have planned on eating the excess and the fox has eaten them before I could bring myself to do it.
