Ah! That explains a lot!

I stood in the paddock laughing my head off today as the flock of very pregnant Wiltshires thundered past in the sunshine. They then obviously decided they were enjoying themselves , so thundered past in the opposite direction. I did say to them, 'ladies are you sure you should be doing that in your condition?'  but they took no notice. Sheep are lovely :love:

Just been watching this it is lovely, by chance I had a phonecall whilst watching from a smallholder friend who has a ewe that has had triplets but is not well, we are taking delivery of two of the lambs tonight!! Yay! back to early morning and late night feeds  :sheep: Got to go and get the bottles and the pen ready.

That's exciting, FF.Our lambs aren't due for another month. At least it should be a bit warmer by then.

Oh no, it's your fault! They're not going to lamb until early April but now we can't see the lambs running up and down that little ramp  :D
