Title: Collected the Boys
Post by: sokel on March 09, 2013, 12:18:13 pm
Well we have just been and collected the Meat and it looks very good.
we would have liked them to go before the winter but what with one thing and another then the snow arrived we couldnt get them there
This is our first attempt at lambs and quite pleased with the results.
they ranged between 18kg  and 20kg each.
Will be trying it tonight  ::)

It was very nice, although I have been instructed to make sure Donald goes into my sisters freezer and not ours   ::)

Donald didnt do anything wrong . He was smaller than the others and was brought up on the bottle rather than the bucket because he was pushed out.
Trish had just had her hip done so we learnt him to jump up the steps onto the horse mounting block for his bottle  so she didnt have to bend down
Trish says she cant eat him  :-\
