Dear Reader,
August has been a busy month! We’ve been weaning lambs and our lovely new sheepdog is doing a great job! See our highlights from the month below to find out what we’ve been up to.

Tagging, sexing and worming lambs in the rain! Good to be out with the team. Got soaked to the knickers and done in time for a pub lunch!

Some of our cattle on Hartland moor and Stoborough heath, enjoying life with the horses. The grazing unit is now 1370 hectares (over 3000 acres), so they roam on a landscape scale helping to protect important heathland and grassland habitats.
