Lots of joists

 The old joist are still very solid, except at the end where they went in to the wall


So sadly we ended up having to replace them all
Now on to laying the subfloor, sanding the beam and taking some plaster off the wall before moving on to the 2nd section of the 7 there are to do

New ram called Coco

 The previous ram is in the freezer as he was being mean to his ladies (and had a go at me too).


It’s hard because they get all fired up with hormones in breeding season. But butting the girls when they were heavily pregnant and in labour was the final straw. Hopefully Coco can be more of a gentleman.. 

It is late in the breeding season now, so it is possible that the ewes are all pregnant already. We will see as there is enough of a gap between the rams being with them for us to tell which is which.

White is quite rare for the Ouessants, so it will be interesting to see what colour the lambs come out…
