Out and about in November - on the farm

 

Painting the tups

                     

                           

Painting the tups means they are easier to see from afar, when they are out with the ewes.  The red stripes indicate where they came from: 2 stripes mean they came from another farm on Mull, 1 stripe means we bought them at Dalmally and Oban, and the green ones are the 'home team'.   9 Blackface and 2 Cheviot tups went out today.   The Herdwick and Suffolks tups went out last week.
