I wormed my tiny flock last Thursday and moved them on Sunday from fairly sparse grass (hay aftermath) onto better ground - not all that long and lush, as the ponies have been on it. They've all been scoffing away and the 3 GFDs are steadily gaining condition - including my poor lamb who last week was scouring to the point where I thought I'd lose him (lament in a separate thread).
I managed to catch and check my other 2 - a Shetland ewe lamb and Heb wether lamb and they are like barrels! They are both lively, but the Shetland is boinging and pogo-ing around the paddock like a baby lamb (she is about 5 months old) and challenging all comers to a head butting contest before springing off again, despite being by far the smallest sheep! They aren't more swollen to the left side than the right and are so lively I'm guessing it's not bloat - just full of it and happy? Is she cycling and flirty? I've never seen her behave like this and very curious.!
