Just a short blog today, just enough to wish each and everyone of you a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year and to leave you with a quote.

Christmas is now over and I’m shattered and looking forward to things getting back into our usual routine. It’s been really great seeing family and friends, but all these nights out are really telling, I think I’m getting old :0))

Another great day for me, but not so for the cria, today was ear tagging and micro chipping day.   I have to say it’s not my favourite job, but it’s one of those that have to be done.  It all went well and the little one’s hardly made a fuss at all.  Now that there all sporting their numbered orange ear tags, it will be so much easier to tell them apart.

Firstly a big thank you to everyone that phoned & emailed, to congratulate us on winning our court case.  It had been a long two years and we are very grateful for all the support you have given us.
