Farmer did some painting on Friday and now the tups are all out with the ewes. He was watched by the 'spare' tups who stood in a line by the wind turbine field fence looking down at the fank. It is not their time yet, they have a further 17 days to wait, until they get painted and put into the fields with the ewes!
We needed one more tup, so went off on Saturday morning to Knock Farm to look at the tups they had for sale. We selected one, and after a cup of tea with Donald we headed home via Loch na Keal and Ulva ferry. Torloisk were gathering the hill at Kilbrennan so we stopped a while to let their ewes get in to the right place, and watched the already gathered ewes who seemed to be watching this gather too!
Sunday dawned bright and clear, and remained so all day, until a truly beautiful sunset sky.
