July flies by

July sped by with some fine weather, but mainly quite a lot of wet weather.  Plenty of grass for the growing lambs. 

JL brought his heifers over for a few weeks before the cows and the bull arrived.  

RM came to do the shearing, on one of the warmer days of the month.  It is always a good job to get done.  Walter was shorn too.
