Title: IT's A BOY!......
Post by: Farmer on March 04, 2010, 09:07:59 pm

Just thought I'd share my news....our 'first born' since moving to our new place is a Shropshire Ram Lamb...needed help in lambing (one leg firmly tucked behind) but after a bit of a struggle, we now have our newest arrival...Sidney...(our farm is Sidway Mill Farm...so Sidney Sidway). Mother and baby doing fine!

Farmer,  :farmer:  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Just off for a cigar and a well earned cup of coffee...aint life grand?

Eleven more ewes (providing they all caught)...a mix of Shropshire, Southdown and Balwen...but I'm hopeful of a Dexter calving tonight as well...six pregnant...and also two Tamworth Sows, both due next week....busy...busy...busy! Just hope we don't have too many problems...preferably none!

Have a suspicion I'll be posting on/reading TAS into the early hours over the next few weeks!!!
