Title: First group of tame lambs this year
Post by: twizzel on March 19, 2015, 01:28:56 pm

Finally outside in the garden  :excited: 6 are 8 weeks, the mule and darker faced ewe in the middle are coming up to 6 weeks. They have done really well this year.

Still got 7 much younger ones on milk but the first group are outside... I feel like all I do is mix milk up all day  :roflanim:

Thanks :) just got to heptavac them in a couple of weeks or so when the other 7 are old enough. 3 of the younger 7 have gone down with orf which has stumped us slightly but treated with antibiotics orf paste and ovaloids they should be back to full health in no time  :unwell:
