We're going to be ear tagging the sheep.

Blood samples, oral swabs, nasal swabs.

And then, theyll be loaded into the trailerto go down to their new home.

if we have opportunities to let nature be nature wild be wild, we do that.

we need to take actions as humans do everything we can to make sure there's a legacy of wildlife and healthy, thriving populations going forward.

the sheep that we translocated down there.

They've got a lot of hope riding on the success of of them as individuals and as a population.

it's important to make sur that we're, we're keeping these, these animals on the land and, maintaining the, the wildness of that country, through the animals that inhabit it.
