Out of 5 ewes so far I only have 1 lamb born to an old Mule who was tupped by accident. 1 Suffolk cross was scanned with twins although 1 was dead but didn't have any, 1 had a lovely big healthy looking lamb which was dead the next morning and the other had a tiny lamb which died almost immediately, waiting now for the Texel to lamb she is due to have twins. They have been with my neighbouring sheep farmer throughout, so although I am not happy at least I know that they have had the best of care. The ewes are all getting on a bit and were supposed to go to market last year but somehow I didn't get round to it so this year they definately are going.
On a happier note I have just bought 2 zwartbles and am hoping to get a few more.
