  Twins Again
On 26 August our last ewe to lamb, Cross, gave birth to another set of twins. The photo shows what a sheep can do to keep her lambs from wandering off.

  Twins

On 25 August we were greeted in the morning by three new arrivals. The ewe we call Big Baby had two little girls (one is very fluffy and white and the other has brown boots and a brown face). The ewe we call Flystrike had a little boy (the photo below with Bobby was taken the day after he was born).

  Lambing starts

Boots #2
This is a photo of Spotty Nose's lamb, born this morning or overnight.



Ebony
This is a photo of Ebony, she was born today. The mum is Original Mum and she's being such a good mother, protecting her lamb and licking her. I can't wait for her first clip. We're certainly not going to eat this lamb.

  Shorn and Pregnant

Our sheep are now very shorn and very pregnant (and very cold). Five out of our six ewes are pregnant from our very short lived ram, 'Blackie'. I don't think our two girl lambs from last year are pregnant. In the background of the photo is 'Spotty Ram', our only wether, who is destined for the butcher later this year.
