more lambing news!

Its been a hectic fortnight since I last wrote. More than half of the sheep have lambed and many are now back out at grass. Its lovely to see the groups of lambs playing in the evenings, but very noisy at feeding time for the ewes when a lot of the lambs temporarily lose 'Mum'. All the expected sets of triplets have arrived plus a couple of extra sets. Some ewes cope but others cant handle it or one of the lambs isn't feisty enough to stick in and get its fair share of milk, so inevitably we have ended up with a couple of pet lambs so far. I'll post some pics in the next couple of days.
