Miss Marley also known as bowl cat died in my arms last night.
She was the kindest, softest, most beautiful cat I have ever had the pleasure of accompanying through life. She was an adult when she arrived on the farm, her owner emigrated to Australia.
A threaded tribute
She had an interest in helping in the garden.

Ok I know she is my dog and all but, Inca the world’s smallest sheepdog, @WSheepdog has just hit legendary status in my eyes.
Darkness had fallen when I was about to feed ewes their evening meal. A misty rain had started to fall. I flicked the yard lights on when I heard Inca whine and bark over at a water tank. I knew a rat was cornered. She doesn’t whine if it’s a mouse.

This glorious pin oak tree has sheltered livestock on this hillside for many generations.
The magnificence of this particular pin oak tree is hard to fathom, unless you see it in its glorious reality

This ewe is lambing but she has a bit of a problem so needs my help.
She has what’s called ring womb. This mean her back passage has a portion that’s not opened out correctly. So I must massage it open with my fingers to get the lamb out

I had a fantastic visit from biologest @Johnfinn310 We both have a passion for #DungBeetles. My interest is in their professional life as soil improvers & livestock parasite controllers. While John is an expert as he researched & wrote a thesis about them.
Here @Johnfinn310 talks about 2 varieties one which is abundant across Ireland that nestles under dung to lay their eggs. While the big Dor #DungBeetle digs a hole buries vast amounts of dung underground. I was interested to learn that the Dor is considered quite rare in Ireland
