On a absolutely beautiful February afternoon I went with Chris to help with the scanning.
These are some of our sheep that are 'wintered away'. As you can see from the tree covered hills, hedges and flat fields we are along way from home.

Once all the scanning equipment is set up each sheep goes into the crate to be scanned.
Scanning helps us prepare for lambing time
as we know exactly how many lambs each sheep is carrying.
Waiting their turn!
Looking to see if she is carrying a single, twins or triplets.
The sheep are marked if they are having twins or triplets or none at all (it happens).
This information makes life a lot easier for us during the lambing season.
