Scanning

The boys have done a good job and despite all the snow and ice and desperate temperatures the girls are having plenty of lambs. There are 14 sets of triplets due, with several of the usual suspects - Gizmo, Blanche, Daisy, Sacha and Stiffie all had triplets last year too! These girls have been separated out into a small field and are starting to get a few high protein ewe rolls to help them along. There are 73 sets of twins due, 16 having singles and some of this years lambs -12 of them - 10 having singles and the two black ones out of the jacobs, Jem and Jet, are having twins. There is lots of work to do yet, as all the sheds need cleaning, washing and disinfecting, and the triplet group need to come inside around mid-February - possibly sooner if the weather stays wet.
