Really sorry to hear that.
It's rotten weather for lambing, the wind and sleet here this morning are horrendous :P
-
So sorry to hear about your lambs ..... so sad :'(
Managed to struggle up to 3 deg. here now.
Torrential rain and a cold wind. Checking our lambs regularly. Have opened all gates so that they can use all field shelters and hopefully find somewhere out of the driving rain. Cant do a lot more :(
Frustating that you cant do anything outdoors. No vegetables planted at all yet :o and cant get started on any of the outdoor jobs that we had planned for the spring. Still must stop soon.
Someone turn that tap off ;D

Sorry about your lambs, this weather is appalling :(. All my sheep have disappeared from view so I guess they are all by the hedges :-\. It's really cold especially with the strong winds. Tomorrow looks to be much better ...

:( how very sad. I had one born outside yesterday that I got inside very quickly with another born in the early hours of this morning whos tucked up into a field shelter but planning lambings at this time of year it should be good weather awful when it isn't! .

Sorry about your lambs :bouquet: . You would expect to be safe weather-wise by the end of April. Strange sort of drought :-\

Mine are tearing about the field in the wind and rain. I had three sets of twins born this morning, all seem fine. I think the weather bothers me more than them.
