Slow start.
« on: April 02, 2014, 09:06:53 am »
Started lambing Sunday with a set of Trips. Had a single yesterday and nothing since.


Going to have to train one of my collies to come up to the house and bark if he sees a ewe that looks like she's started. :innocent:

Mine are on strike. I might try this - I'll don my evening frock, go and see them then hide and watch them pop  ;D

Wow, you've got an evening frock? Is it a sparkly pairs of overall?. ;D

I have just done the most interesting acrobatics without getting my knees wet on the ground (but my neighbours are used to it) to see if any of mine are developing an udder... not due until April 18th, but definitely something happening in the milk bar department...
