Lambing in full swing

Sorry for the gap in info - we have been a little bit manic on the lambing front! All is going well but it adds an extra intensity to the workload. Lambs cannot wait for it to be convenient to arrive! Once each ewe lambs we move her with her lambs to a little pen where they can get used to feeding their lambs without being hassled by the other ewes, as this leads to confusion for the lambs and mothers! After 24 to 48 hours they then move to a bigger pen, with others and then, depending on how strong and well they are doing, we turn them out in to the field and they love it! So far we have got a few little lambs that we are bottle feeding. We do have an 'adopter' which helps a ewe who may have lost her own lambs, but has plenty of milk, to take on another's lambs. As soon as the lambs have drunk enough to smell like her own lambs, she accepts them. It is really great when it works!
