The ewes we put out to lamb outside have done really well and Mr and Mrs Fox have not been very successful which is good news for us! All the other older lambs are looking chubby and gorgeous and we just love to see them bounce about like nutcases, generally enjoying life!

Last of the lambs...for now!
Well we have had a busy week. What fantastic weather! Followed by a bit of rain - all good grass growing ingredients! The stock are happy! We now only have a few ewes to left to lamb. We have a little group still in the shed who have feet issues and so we are keeping a close eye on them and they are doing well. As they lamb we give their feet a thorough check and bit of tlc just before we turn them out. We will do this again when we get them all in, in the near future. We have a couple of lambs who lost their mums and we are bottle feeding them 3 times a day. We did try and keep a few others, but they didn't all make it. I don't like that bit.
