Post by: beagh-suffolks on January 05, 2017, 12:40:38 am
The yearly post, this years lambing has been very successful an has came to an end early this morning with a lovely lively pair off a first time gimmer , not one dopey lamb all have been very lively an most lambed them selves. The ram used was my stock ram who has proven very popular in show ring in 2016. Hoping everything is going well for everyone else coming upto lambing ! Would love to hear from yous..
Post a few of the fav photos so far (an we have added a pedigree poll Dorset gimmer to the flock who has lambed recently)

we tent to keep them in a few days then turn them out during the day an in at night , then do that for a week or so then turnout full time depending on weather but we have a shelter in the field
