The ewes are due to start lambing on Sunday - very exciting! It is quite a special time when the first lamb arrives. You wait with excitement and when you hear the first little bleat of a newborn lamb there is nothing like it. Steve seems to have an inbuilt alarm clock and can get up every hour or two during the night attending to the girls. They enjoy coming into the barn at night and we love looking at them with a sense of anticipation.
Before the ewes go with the lambs we spend many an hour analysising the ewe's previous off spring and deciding which ram they should be used, this ram or that ram - decisions, decisions!! All of this makes it so interesting to see if your decisions have been fruitful. Remember that we are running lambing courses, so if interested get your space booked as soon as possible.
