It seems to be a bit doom and gloom around here at the moment, it has definitely been at home- I lost one of my lambs a few weeks ago, and we've lost 2 calves in as many weeks :raining:
But on Friday I turfed all of my lambs out into the big wide world that is the field, and thought I'd share these photos of them this morning- they seem really contented :) All tame lambs... now the hard work is done, just got to heptavac again in a couple of weeks and bring in to worm/flystrike throughout the course of the spring and summer :)
The first pic is some of the slightly older lambs, the 2nd is all 17 of them together :)

Looking well, twizz! :thumbsup:
Sorry to hear about the calves :bouquet: - what happened there?
-
:D thanks :)
One had the most horrendous scour I've ever seen, we tried for 2 weeks to get her well but nothing worked so the hunt came for her (incidentally the day that my lamb snuffed it too- bad day!). The other was a heifer calving out in the field one evening last week, didn't get to it in time and it must have drowned during calving :-\ bloody great heifer calf too, typical :-[

Hi,
Lovely pics, I have serious grass envy, ours is still yellow looking and short.
