Unfortunately our female border collie is only 6 months old and she's totally crackers at the moment so we're not letting her near them until she's calmed down a bit.
Have been dealing with more lambing today - so far we have twin boys, twin girls and today and boy and girl combo - unfortunately the girl was very small and was finding it hard to keep up with the result that mum and the boy walked off several times - have given her colostrum feed and she pepped up after that and has managed to hang on with mum and brother - not sure if she'll last the night though but she's with mum, not a lot else we can do. See how she is tomorrow.
Then we had a far away neighbours spaniel rocketing berzerk around the entire place - managed to catch her - no collar or ID tag of course but we found the owner. Typical busy day.
Will catch those little soay tups yet but it's unlikely to be within the 7 days for the catration but the week old ones are beginning to stray away from mum quite a bit now so more chance (I think?).
Thanks for all your contributions.
