After a couple of busy weekends in the B & B, I have now turned my attention back to the sheep and getting things ready for lambing, due to start on March 13th. The main ewe shed was hot pressure washed out a few weeks ago, and I have spent the last two days doing the 'maternity' shed, which is where most of the newborns start life and the next door shed into which they move once they are on their feet and bonded with mum. Only two more sheds to go!
I also have made a shopping list of all the lambing essentials that I need to buy in the next fortnight and tidied out the medicine cabinet.
Once the sheds are dry, I will spray them with disinfectant and then bed them up with straw. The first two ewes that are due are Rosemary, a South Down who is having just one lamb and one of her daughters, Pamela who is having twins.
