We haven't many sheep left to lamb now. Lots of people think that when we've finished lambing then the hard work is over.
Infact that is not the case at all. Chris is often heard to say that anyone can lamb a sheep but the skill is in keeping both the ewe and the lamb fit and healthy afterwards.
The sky is blue and the sun is shining but it is bitterly cold which is holding back the grass. Every day our sheep get supplementary hard feed and plenty of hay.
When the ewes have finished feeding there is quite a commotion until the lambs are
reunited with their mothers.
But after a lot of bleating and baarr-ing they all pair up again ...
..... and peace and tranquility is restored.
