. . . .
or so it seemed last week - every day was busy with something different.
Sunday afternoon - we started the Winter Clip of all the adult stock. While James helped, the real work was done by Wendy and Rachel (Clippaholics)
Monday - clipping all day
Tuesday morning - checking and amending the latest RPA "Remote sensor" maps.
Tuesday afternoon - initial meeting with a "Fepper" - ie an expert that will help us complete a FEP (Farm Environmental Plan); a necessary step along the way to applying for HLS.
Wednesday - warm and sunny all day, so rebuilt a wall on The Lots (allegedly knocked down by a neighbours cows)
Thursday - rain. Repairing/replacing/improving spouting round the parlour
Friday - classification. The last time was 14/10/2008, and this time we were equally pleased.
There are 3 new EX, and 2 more were classified as EX again.
Overall there are now 6 EX's, 31 VG's and 31 GP's.
Special mention must be made of -

Strickley Athena 3 - VG87
Strickley Starlet 91 - VG86
Strickley Hermione 12 - VG85
