A lovely straw bed ready and waiting

I have spent this last week getting the large lambing shed mucked out - Kev loves the mini-digger we have on hire as it makes things like this so much easier. I then hot pressure washed it and sprayed it liberally with disinfectant. Two of our girls were in a little shed as they have been lame and somewhat under the weather, so after bedding it up this morning with lots of straw they have the privilege of the shed to themselves tonight. Tomorrow will see a lot of the triplet-carrying ewes come in plus up to a dozen of the first to lamb. Its just that it keeps raining and I need to preserve some grass for after they have lambed. There is enough mud about for now!
