🔍🐑 Yesterday we showed you sheep heading off the hill – today we’re focusing on those known as “cast wethers” 🥩 What does that mean? A wether is a castrated male sheep. A cast wether is one that has come to the end of its working life on the hill. Instead of keeping them on ground needed for younger, more productive animals, these older sheep are sent to slaughter. ⛰️ It means: ✔️ Less pressure on the hill and on sensitive habitats like young heather ✔️ Space and resources for younger sheep t
