Well that's a surprise

We weren't expecting that, we bought three ewes in late October and put them to our tup, expecting lambs around april. Well they must have been in lamb as two were born yesterday, one died the other seems fine, a nice little ewe. We gave her a little mac and brought her in to get warm, sleeping well. Lambs always seem quite at home in our kitchen and are relaxed as long as the Rayburn is on.

We gave her some extra chlorostrum and put her back with Mum.


As soon as we are happy thet she isfeeding well we'll put them out in the orchard.
Unfortunately we lost one of our best ewes due to calcium deficiency, as we didn't know she was carrying a lamb at such a late stage so had not started feeding her up.

So a good day and a bad day.
