My ewes are 8 weeks off lambing but I looked at the fields yesterday afternoon, which are as wet as fields can be without being flooded, not helped by 30cm of snow melting in less than 24 hours, then looked at the weather forecast, which was for very high winds and 9 hours' heavy rain overnight, and I listened to the little voice in the back of my mind that said, "Bring 'em in the shed."
Now off to justify my softness by putting them through the race while they're dry so I can check their feet and condition score them .....
