Hi Thanks for the offer of lambs ellisr. I have managed to find some a 5 minute walk away. I spend last night assisting with lambing. crash course but managed to assist with pulling out 2 lambs. I also spend some time docking tails, castrating lambs, tube feeding and generally asking as many questions as I could in the few hours I was there. I will be going again later in the week.
I am collecting 4 lambs this week, there will be kept in my garden shed under a heat lamp for a few weeks before I move them to the field. Luckily the lady sheep farmer is on hand should any problems arise.
I also collected my first batch of 20 Ross Cobbs yesterday. They are settling into their new home and will give them a few days before I let them go outside. Needs to warm up a bit.
What with that, 8 saddlebacks and 14 layers. I am really excited. 6 months ago I was still dreaming of finding some land to rent. It goes to show that sometimes good things do happen. So excited
