Hey we only third year ourselves, and it s a very steep learnin curve, always gathering knowledge, learning from mistakes, bettering ourselves for the next year. Theres plenty of brilliant sheep people on here, much you can take on yourselves from theyre many years of experience.
I particularly relish having a molly lamb or two, of course them being on theyre dam is the best way, but when/if the occasion does arise i/we take them on with open arms.
I wouldnt worry about them gorging on grass, they will take what they want, but are more likely in my experience to adventure. if grass is a little long with you (lucky thing) watch out for a touch of scald, between toes (aliken it to a papercut). blue antibiotic spray is a good one to have to hand just in case, it has a myriad of uses.
Like i said earlier, theyre turnout is very important, they are an outdoor animal after all !!
If you can house them onto theyre paddock so they can come and go as they please, that would be ideal, and then lok them away at night. Of course if you are a little protective of them, you could go sit with them, with a book or summat ??
i/we also dont allow anyone from outside theyre feeding regime to mouth them....especially when they re really young...they become used to your natural bacteria/flora on your hands etc, but not to others.
LAstly, they are old enough to have a heptavac jab, to cover them for a range of diseases, including pulpy kidney, tetanus etc, 7 hence the Hepta
I doubt at 5 half weeks theyve had theyre first one, find out if you can. Vet maybe your best option for two lambs.
