Loving these cold dry crisp mornings forgot what they were like. We don't get them number anymore 10 would be good 15 excellent. Only 4 today Lol, But hey loved ever second of it. They didn't really want to bolt and young ones to boot, got my suspicions there are lots of new age travellers (crusties) near by with dogs think they have been taking a few and spooking the rabbits. 

Well done on your 21, atb.

Cheers Arry

Christ you guys don't know you're born not a bramble in sight. My hands and arms look like I've been self harming so many scratches. We do have a few open ground borrows but nothing like that, it's mostly hedge crawling for me Lol. Atb.

      My little doe has finally had her kits around a week ago their mum is a great little hunter but also a great pet  she is proud of them and i have been close to them but still keeping a distance from them at this stage  hopefully if i can get 3 to 4 bucks for new stock I will be happy with that . My question is I have in the past put my young ones to work with their mum at around 6 months old is that a bit to early. Second of all I will keep one of her daughters for breading as milly is getting old  . With the older ones I will pass them on as pets as that are friendly when handheld but do hunt when they out to work . c
