I had been aware of a lot of bleating going on from about a mile away. The sheep have been brought in for scanning to see how many lambs they are carrying. They pass through a machine with a roller than performs the scan as they pass over it. The wonders of modern technology! Ewes carrying twins or triplets get different rations from ewes carrying only one.
