Meet Dexter our retired Ram. This old boy had “served his purpose” as a breeding Ram and was no longer required, he was due to be killed. Dexter initially went to another rescue before coming to us a few weeks ago. He is very large and quite a boisterous old boy, but he does have…
It’s been another truly long day with a production line of 5 castrates to do now we are having cold weather. With many of the animals here we have to wait for the colder weather to carry out these necessary ops due to the risk of fly strike. It’s very sad that we usually get…
