Title: Phew!!!
Post by: suziequeue on April 11, 2011, 09:17:07 am
Our last ewe lambed last night with no problems - so that's four healthy ewes - all good mums - and five corkers of lambs - three boys and two girls - all doing well

Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Now I have the rest of the year to find answers to all the questions that arose this year.

Of course - come lambing next year we won't have a house!!! (but we'll have a big field shelter and the workshop and DH will be in a caravan) - so hopefully the sheep will have enough indoor space if they need it.

Well done Suzie.  Our last three lambed yesterday - three sets of twins, all healthy.  That's 13 from 6 ewes so we're really pleased.

I can't believe our number one ewe (pictured in my profile) ever looked so slim......
