Tupping is complete

After a very strange start, due to the burst of warm weather, when many ewes 'went over', we're now done.  99% sure, as a couple of ewes need a clear cycle to go, but we're sure all are covered.

The two tups we have used are: Carsfad Nitrogen  (reserve male Royal Highland 2010 as a lamb and 3rd as a shearling at GYS - 13 forward) and Gracewood Nimrod (several first places as both a lamb and a shearling).

They have been used on eleven ewes.  We shall have them scanned just before Christmas and then adjust their feeding for those with singles and those with twins.
