Scots girl who had 'never seen a squirrel' now in training to become shepherdess
28.06.2023 - 09:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A 14-year-old is training to become a shepherdess - and saved up to buy two lambs. Hayley MacDonald lives in Friockheim, Angus, with her brother Kai, 12, and foster carers Alison Yates, 59, and husband Ron, 55.
The siblings had never seen a squirrel until they moved to the small village four years ago. Hayley is shy and doesn't enjoy school but joined a course last year, Estates that Educate, and found a passion for sheep by working at the Hunthill Estate.
She got a part-time job with Dundee United to pay for two blackface lambs of her own - named Bonnie and Blossom - and is now hand-rearing them. Hayley gets up at 6.30am to feed them and is hoping to get another two to create a mini flock.
It has also sparked an interest in reading and Hayley even brought the lambs into a care home so the kids could bottle feed them. Bonnie and Blossom think she is their mum and come running up to greet her when she arrives to feed them.
The prospect of a sheepdog is now on the cards but Hayley would like to have 50 lambs in future. Gran-of-four Alison, who has two children of her own, does an 80 minute round trip once a week to help Hayley pursue her dreams.
Hayley said: "I got the lambs on April 30, we still bottle feed them because they would normally get milk from their mum for six months. They live in a little hut me and Ron built on land where our horse is stabled. I'm planning to get two more.
"Ideally I would like 50 lambs. I would like to be standing in a field with them looking at me asking 'where is my milk'. It is very different from having dogs and rabbits as pets.
"Being a shepherdess is a hobby, I got a part-time job to pay for the lambs but was gifted them. Lambs have a really good way of telling you to back off - with humans
