#51. A Day in the Life of a Shepherd - July - a podcast by Raising the Baa

Welcome to the July episode of A Day in the Life of a Shepherd.

The next big task after shearing is weaning. It's a topic which prompts many questions. Why is it done? How do shepherds manage the process? Does it upset the ewe or its lambs?

We also discuss why now is a good time for sheep farmers to sell some of this year's lambs.

Next month, August, is the quietest time in the shepherding calendar. It's a time for planning, maintenance and, in theory, having a well-earned break!

Many of you will also being enjoying some time out, so SheepDip will join the flock and return, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, in Autumn.

Meanwhile, if you've got a burning question for the shepherd? Email chris@raisingthebaa.com or message him through our Facebook page and your question could feature in a future episode from the farm.

Enjoy - and thank ewe for tuning in :-)
