First lambs heralded in by the lark.

After waiting for over a week, we had our first twins born this morning.  The whole time the sun was shining  :sunshine: and the lark was singing his wee heart out.  Idyllic  :thumbsup:

Its been very slow this year - we had a little flush at the start but nothing for almost a week - I think they are waiting for the rain ; 0)

Hi Brucklay.  Yes it was T shirt weather here today  :sunshine:  Tonight and tomorrow it's windy and rain, and for Sunday we are forecast SNOW  :cold:  So I hope the rest of the ewes hang onto their lambs til the worst is past.

We're still waiting, for both sheep and a Pygmy goat, lovely warm weather but wind at 41mph at 16.00 today so we reckon that's when they'll go  :roflanim:
With 1 Angora and now 6 pygmy goats, Jacob & Icelandic sheep, chooks, a cat and my very own Duracell bunny aka BH !
