round Christmas as some of you know i was left to rear a little pedigree ewe pet lamb due to its mum dieing due to an infection in her lungs. This ewe was very special to me as she was the last of a very dear friends breeding line. i was told time and time again that this little lamb now called annie would grow into nothing and would have to go as a fat lamb, well i am glad to say i have proved them all wrong and this lamb has gone on and has placed and even won some shows...just shows dont under estimate the undersheep so to say(hehe)...sorry the colour is a little bright (its not as bright in person). Just thought i would let you all know

Well done Annie and well done you.

Sometimes the orphans can surprise us.. we've three good ewes were orphaned triplets,  the bigger two are rearing their third crops now, the smaller her second.  A nothing-much Mule ewe I helped (she took a bottle as her mum didn't have much) is rearing two lovely lambs - her 5th pair.  And Mucky Alice, scrotty little runty thing, nearly died, always dirty, that I never thought would amount to much but I thought might have a nice fleece has just given me the most beautiful fleece, underneath which is a rather nice-looking (and clean!) gimmer.  From Mucky Alice to Lucky Alice - she'll be staying

She is lovely!!!!  Its really nice to hear positive things about orphans - I have raised 25+ this year and whilst they are harder work and do get lots more problems, some of them can turn into great sheep.
