Back in June we travelled down to Ayreshire to Glennapp estate where they held an open day at one of the farms. The open day was for this breed of sheep called "Easy Care." For years Erlend has been dying to get his paws on some "Easy Care" rams ~ a breed created in Wales that has intrigued him. So down we went and Erlend purchased a fine Easy Care ram. And why not? Life isn't well lived if you don't try a few new things, take a few risks... If this breed doesn't work out well for us, no big deal. At least Erlend had a chance to try something he's always wanted to do! *Grin*

Mr. Ram showed up on the midnight ferry in Kirkwall last Saturday and so we headed out to collect him. He was not in the least bit impressed with being man-handled and so a small rodeo ensued in the livestock chute with Erlend and a helpful dock worker disapearing from view now and then, to the sounds of mightly scuffling... The ram was eventuallydeposited into a fine bed of straw in the back of the pickup truck. This breed just so happens to be horn-less and they also shed their wool so there was not much for the men to hang on to while wrestling with the lad!

Four miles from home the pickup died. Erlend pushed it into the Harry Potter's parkinglot while I did my best to steer from the passenger seat over an enormous pregnant belly. It was a fine, moon-lit night with only the ocassional shower of rain so we walked home instead of waking someone up to beg a ride. It took about an hour and a half and we were hardly able to pry our sleepy eyes open by the time we arrived at the farm at 2:30am! (We tend to go to bed around 10 - 11pm so late nghts are rough!)

Erlend put Mr. Ram into a 6' by 6' pen with Magnus, our Texel ram, so the two could work things out between themselves without being able to get far enough apart to do some serious damage. Magnus slapped the younger ram around a bit and now they are best buddies. A couple of days later Erlend purchsed another Easy Care ram from a local farmer but he's not here yet. Soon he shall be added to the pen for his introduction to the other boys! And in November the rams will be sent out, each to a sub-flock of yows.

As for the dirty bedding mystery... this one has me utterly baffled! Every time I do a load of sheets or comforter (downey) covers they come out still feeling dirty and smelling dirty!! And I use plenty of soap!! (Soap that happens to clean everything else just fine...)

This is disgusting and I'm getting tired of it! My linen closet smells like dirty bedding and there's nothing more nasty then curling up in bed in supposedly "clean" new bedding and it still smells and feels unwashed.

What gives??????? Do any of you more experiencd ladies have an idea what I'm doing wrong? We have three sets of guests coming and I cannot be putting them up in smelly bedding!!!!
