Any reason why you didn't castrate?  Means you don't have to force wean them just because you are worried about them working.

Hi Morri, yep I'm still here. Been distracted a little recently. Watching the forums but not posting much. Polls are doing well thanks. Have three lovely ewe lambs from last spring that I plan to get rid of if you hear of anyone looking on Hampshire. I can sell them easily to a big breeded but they would be great for a small starter flock. Very friendly.

Spring seems to be around the corner, Hazel is nearly in flower and the bees keep leaving the hive. Even sawa  hedgehog the other night. I think we may be in for a shock though

Hope all good with you. How's the lamb and ewe?

Hello again!  Lamb and ewe improved greatly last day or so, thank goodness.  No signs of spring just yet here.  We're a bit behind you guys down there, probably by about 2 weeks or so.  Only just getting snowdrops peeping through the frozen soil at the moment.  At least the sun is shining. 

I hope you find a suitable home for the ewe lambs, I'm afraid I don't have any contacts your way, spent all my life in Wales!  I rarely sell my lambs, ewes or rams until they are over a year old and, like you, I prefer to sell them to smallholders due to their friendly nature. I've got four Bowmonts now too - they are in lamb to a Dorset ram this year, but hopefully I'll sort out a Bowmont ram for next season.
All the best, Caroline   :wave:
