What a great way to spend a lovely holiday!  Who needs to be out in a traffic jam when you can have lambs in the garden :sunshine: :sheep: ;D :thumbsup: .

My last Shetland lambed at midday, a cracking grey katmoget ewe weighing 3kg.  A bit too large but mum is fine, and besotted :hugsheep: :hugsheep: .  Happy Easter!

I've been so worried, but this I'm sure was almost text book, we was sat in the garden with the 2 ewes lying around 10 metres away, all seemed normal, then she got up and layed down 6 times in quick succession  and she started talking to her belly (5 mins) then water bag then what looked like just one leg, head then lamb all in under 30 minutes. Ewe and lamb now tucked up in a stable.
