Banishing Bullies

I know, they look like perfect little darlings, don't they? But pet lambs Bambi, Fergie and Whiskey have been banished from the Pet Pen here at Struan Farm and put out into the paddock at the back gate.

They were butting Bubbles, Ajax and Diva away from drinking their bottles, and we can't have that. In the steps of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, the smaller, gentler lambs were simply walking away rather than getting into a scrap. So I made an executive decision that it was time for the troublesome trio to be put into the paddock at the back gate.

This involved me picking them up one by one and bottles so they can establish that this is where feeding happens.  I check in with them for hellos and pats every so often to make sure they don't wander too far until they're settled. They can also hear Bubbles, Ajax and Diva in the Pet Pen across the backyard. 

The other three will join them in a few days once everyone is settled and feeding properly. Zero tolerance for bullying at Struan Farm.
