I'm still waiting for one too - though I'm beginning to think she may have lost / aborted/ re-absorbed it as she's looking less bagged up than she did two weeks ago...


sorry to hear your last one wasn't a better result, but at least your finished for this year  :) . must be a relief.

Sorry to hear your lambing finished on a sad note but I hope the last lamb is thriving :fc: .  I prefer ram lambs now as I am already overstocked and hate sending on healthy ewe lambs :-\ .
