Evening before bath time!  by happypat

Evening before bath time!

Our nephews sheep pasturing unaware that they are all going through the dipping trough tomorrow.
Could be over a thousand Harry thought but it will be a long day for man & beast!

Three good things:
1. Our builder came this evening & used the still saw to cut a wall down ready for the gardening firm to come in with their mini diggers.
2. I’m enjoying the quieter roads again in my walk. You can definitely tell people are not traveling as much during this second lockdown.
3. Professional Masterchef.....I love it!
I didn't know they still dipped sheep! Thought it was all controlled by an injection or something. Interesting sky here.

that's a lovely sky pat, are you going to photograph the sheep dipping :)

Sounds exhausting

Lovely big sky! Will have to look up what “dipping is all about!”

What a glorious sky to finish the day with.

Can I ask what “dipping the sheep” means, please ? I’m intrigued ...😉

Beautiful capture. I guess dipping means shearing from the amount of coat they have. A 1000 is a huge amount to take at one go.

A beautiful sunset scene.

Dipping sheep is a process where all the sheep are run through a deep long trough of special solution to control sheep scab & any other parasites that could be around such as lice & fleas.
It’s not something they like but only takes a minute to go through...the farmer pushes their heads in to make sure they have a good dunk!
At one time it was a the cause of controversy as the stuff they used turned out to be dangerous for farmers & some got permanent long term damage from the liquid. I am presuming g it is a completely different solution they use now which will be tested & passed as safe.
I would have liked to have taken a photo but I had things to do plus it’s a busy day & I didn’t want to get in the way!
