Title: Couldn't resist - Too cute!
Post by: steve_pr on March 07, 2013, 06:10:18 pm
Sorry, I realise that all new lambs are cute, but these Greyface Dartmoors are more than averagely so. These are just over a week old and were enjoying the sun earlier in the week here in West Wales. Of course, the rain has started again now so they are back inside!


We now have 20 lambs bouncing around with another 30 still to arrive over the next 3 weeks - pretty exhausting for first timers, but rewarding nevertheless.


Enjoy (and I promise not to post any more!). Mind you, mum looks a bit doubtful about the size of those feet - but I'm sure he will grow into them in due course!

OMG.............They are sooooooooooooooooooo cute. Well done for your efforts. It must be exhausting, but you're doing a fab job!

Sadly, having to give up my horses, so have to persuade the hubby to maybe get a couple of these.....lol

Love the photies...........keep them coming.

Best wishes,

Sarah.
