Title: newborn lamb
Post by: devonlad on April 01, 2016, 10:34:04 pm

Not lambed for 2 years so feeling a bit rusty, but one of our originals,and most favourite, "Shaun The Sheep", popped out this beauty at 8 tonight to get us back in the swing. A ewe, so on this day we could call her Fool, but instead its April

Its 3.20 in the morning and I'm having a beer. Our last two lambed simultaneously tonight and weve just got indoors. Been a hard lambing, probably a knock on of taking a year out and ewes being in too good condition. Weve had big lambs whove struggled to get out and tonight gad two simultaneous"superman" which was pretty full on. All ewes and lambs still alive. And here's a shot of jenny and the "jays" - hope you're watching pavers ( as they're heading your way). Time for bed

Good for you!  Nice to hear some happy lambing stories and know some people have had less sleep than me.  :sheep:
