Approximately 60 sheep had been retained to keep the grass down until we were ready to replant the area.

It has been decided to keep a few sheep to graze the area between the lighthouse and the foghorn. Eventually, even these will go and all fences will be removed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”7600″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”837829″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”7601″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”146812″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
