What's he doing to ME? The ear notch is our station mark, known as a back bayonet. All male sheep have this cut out of their right ear at weaning, all females out of the left ear. Makes life easier when drafting a big mob. The opposite ear to the station mark bears a coloured tag indicating the year the sheep was born, also assisting us when drafting sheep (ie sorting them into flocks ready for shearing). Halfbred ewes and rams also have a larger coloured tag indicating their bloodline.

Shipping

The Tamar FI is the Falkland Islands' coastal vessel, moving all kinds of freight round the Islands. This photo shows an early start to the day, to catch a high tide and calm weather in order to load sheep easily.
Four hundred newly shorn ewes waiting to be shipped off to their new home on Weddell Island - early morning. They reached Weddell a few hours later. Weddell had finally got on top of their Patagonian fox problem, using 9-wire electric fencing round the lambing camp and a poisoning programme to reduce the fox population.
Loading ewes on the sea truck Temporary pens were set up on beach to load the sheep onto the two Seatrucks, to be ferried to the MV Tamar FI. Sheep hate going downhill...
The ewes loaded remarkably well, only two making a bid for freedom. One of these leapt out of the pens and away, the other into the sea - but a quick thinking crewman grabbed a hindleg and she was brought unceremoniously back into the Seatruck.
