Hello,new to sheep!
« on: April 11, 2011, 04:46:05 pm »
Just wanted to pop in and say hello to all of you experienced sheep keepers! We've currently got 3 little bottle lambs staying and so long as all goes well I won't be bothering you for help but just wanted to pre-warn that I might be!
We have goats, chickens, rabbits...but sheep are something new. These 3 belong to a local 'co-operative' and are going to graze our land for us. One is looking a bit 'not quite right', the other 2 are thriving. fingers crossed  ;)
Really enjoying them though and have taken lots of fab advice from EllisR already about not cuddling too much  ;D

Even experienced sheep keepers (which I'm not!) can learn something here.  Good luck with your bottle lambs and don't get too attached.  It makes it worse when they go!
