Shepherd's blog: The wanderer returns
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2012/12/the-wanderer-returns.html
Monday, 10 December 2012. It's tup time, so the wanderer would of course be a sheep - well? Shep hasn't had time to partake in any winter sports, it's fair to say that a fear of 'getting hurt' would probably ensure I wouldn't wish to partake in any winter sports other than making a snowman, but regardless, there hasn't been time for such frivolities to date. I did manage a little bit of sledging however. Tup harnesses - awful things! Two days later I noticed something was amiss, a ewe that had been 'serv...

Shepherd's blog: January 2013
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 21 January 2013. We had an yellow snow warning, then we were upgraded to an amber snow warning, I always thought snow was white - ah ha! I now know what the forecasters were on about. Or is it yellow? Pretty rare stuff I doubt coz most places you look it has a whiteish hue about it. It snowed, quite a change from Thursday. This picture may not exactly show signs of comfort and security but at least if they should get happed with snow in these driving winds I'll know where to find them. It seems a...

Shepherd's blog: February 2013
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 28 February 2013. To brighten your day. I just can't help myself and once again share a link with you all. There seems to be something about the Scottish farmers, they do seem to be able to enjoy themselves and portray bull sales as no one else could. I hope this brings a smile to your faces as it did me.

Shepherd's blog: March 2014
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 18 March 2014. This article was published in the farming press recently, unfortunately the farming press isn't often read by dog walkers and so I have decided to share on this page in the hope it will reach a wider audience. FARMERS are pleading with dog walkers to clean up after their pets when walking on agricultural land. Sarcocystosis is also caused by parasites, which can use dogs as intermediate hosts, and similarly the eggs are produced and excreted in faeces. Sheep will become infect...

Shepherd's blog: July 2012
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 July 2012. Contract shearers usually have their own clipping trailers which they tow from farm to farm. These trailers come in many different shapes and forms. Many race type trailers follow the above design. A ramp which leads up to the race which the sheep are turned out of to be clipped. The sheep stand patiently (or not so). Anyhow, we're nearly into August and still the clipping season is running on. It's that wet stuff which is to blame, but hey! Posted by Tarset Shepherd. Blackies and C...

Shepherd's blog: April 2012
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 April 2012. We're almost to the first Tuesday in May - my god! The last Tuesday in April was more than alright for Shep away over the border, apparently there were monsoon rains over home - poor souls! Not to worry, I was dry for once, and warm although it is hard to believe now, just under a week on. Pudding too which was delicious and then here am I being antisocial, sitting infront of their coal fire and blogging! I'm gonna sign off and enjoy the crack as it'll soon be time to head 'home', ...

Shepherd's blog: Spring is springing
http://blog.tarset.co.uk/2013/02/spring-is-springing.html
Wednesday, 20 February 2013. Aye, if we awoke from a long sleep we may be forgiven for thinking spring is here. Middle of February and the weather is looking up. It's been dry! And the sun has shone and Shep is convinced she heard the skylark yesterday away out on the hill top. Snowdrops are a mass of white at the moment with the daffodils poking their greeness out of the ground ready for the next month or two. Scannings are well through, with only a handful left to deal with, results don't seem to have ...
