Just back from a set of twins and a set of triplets.  All up and bleating - I just love that noise!  Time for bed now.

another set of twins this morning. Elvis (our ram) certainly did his stuff!  Pics later, although they are always a lot cuter after a couple of days.

Triplets and a huge single to add to the tally today.  That's 11 from 5 ewes.  7 more to go.  I really must remember to take my camera over and take some pictures but I'm shivering so much I think they would be blurred!

I suggest taking the thermos AND the camera. Or some shepherd reviver. The prefered brand here is Jamesons :yum:


Well done, I'm waiting for mine to start any day now.


Though they weren't meant to start till May, but they are evil and all hate me so want to lamb early in the awful weather ::)  with lambs I can't register ::) ::)  when I have no time booked off from work :tired:
