We say farewell to our two rams Mel Gibbston and Jimmy Baahns, who gave honourable service for two seasons, in spite of the ’07 fiasco (See last year's blog). And no – they are not going where you think, but are off to lighter duties at another South Suffolk flock – total 8 ewes. No chance of a hernia there.
Pictured: Here are the boys on their last day at Redbank.
