Title: Another Newbie
Post by: MaxiB on May 28, 2021, 08:01:38 am

I’m a total newbie to owning sheep and have just ‘inherited’ a couple of orphan lambs. So much to learn... I didn’t realise sheep keeping was such a complex affair... thought horses were bad enough 😬😂
I’m finding this site/forum incredibly useful, so much so that I had a relatively intelligent conversation with the vets I registered the lambs with.
Just need to train the dog to co exist with the lambs... not an easy one for a miniature schnauzer... but he lives with cats so will succeed eventually 🙏🙏
I’m in Suffolk 👍🏻

Hello and welcome to TAS  :wave:
Hopefully you'll have a long and happy sheep keeping career  :excited: Mind you, they can be addictive, so be warned. :)
