Getting Lambs tomorrow
« on: April 04, 2013, 06:27:13 pm »
Collecting them from the same farm as we got them from last year as this was arranged before we where asked to help a friend.
Shed is ready and bottles disinfected , just hope that our friend does not end up with too many orphans or we need to shuffle around to empty a stable  ::)

Good luck! I had 3 phone calls this year resulting in 12 lambs, had to tell the farmer enough was enough then (although I would have loved to have more... The milk powder bill would have been horrific!

We are going to be using our goats milk this year and we also have a backup supply of goats milk from a friend who has 16 milking this year so  :fc: we will not need to buy any powdered milk
