James brought the Highlanders up to the shed at Octomore this morning. The two bullocks for the Shorefield Project were separated, and dosed with a preparation to protect them from parasitic worms and liver fluke. They probably didn't need it, but its a good preventative measure apparently. The preparation is spread along the back of the animal, a bit like applying 'Spot-On' as an anti-flea and tick remedy for a dog, only on an industrial-sized animal.
They were they loaded into the wee 'float' and taken down to the Shorefield, which is about a mile from the shed. They were very docile, and happily wandered off to explore their new home. They were cheerfully grazing by the time I had jumped on the bike to head for Bowmore.
We will try and call them to come to cake in the next couple of days.
