Well done!!! A big hearty congrats to you! :) This year will be my third year lambing, but always with some help as I can't manage 70 ewes by meself! :O  Btw what breed of sheep do you keep and do you lamb in or outdoors?
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Hi Water Buffalo Farmer,

I just started this year and had 6 Crossbred ewes which were covered by a cheviot tip (tup). When scanned 1 were empty which i was going to replace but decided this year stick with what i had so i sold the two empties and kept the 4. ( wishing now i had bought a few more.)
But as they say creep before you walk s i am very satisfied ( So far)
