Oh, indeed - I almost forgot about the biggest tool and material box in northern Germany... 😉

After visiting the veterinary office today and officially registering the whole flock (and myself as a serious shepherd), I have a pretty good feeling. The vets were very friendly and well-disposed. I was given addresses and telephone numbers of where else I have to register (and pay for everything...). Finally, we thanked each other for the very friendly conversation and confirmed how good it is to deal with things like this in person (not by email). When you look people in the eye, you can judge them much better. We look forward to working together, they want to refrain from inspection of the pasture and shelter. For one thing, they didn't have the manpower at the moment, and for another, they would have immediately believed every enthusiastic word I said about the herd and its accommodation... 😊
