a girl a crook and lambs tales

The sheep arrived eight months ago - eight shetland ewes and one little boy wether. Soon they were joined by another eight ewes from a friends flock. Thomas the tup was purchased and introduced to the ladies in November. We now join the story here as the first of the little ones arrive and I start my journey on a long steep learning curve.

Surprise Surprise - It's a Girl !!


On Saturday after a long day working I headed up to the field to check on the ewes to find them all resting in the sunshine. A quick head count revealed one missing. As I made my way further up the hill I could just barely make her out at the top of the field against the wall and as I got nearer I could see this little bundle beside her. Our first little ewe lamb. Mum had taken herself off to deliver quietly on her own.
Now three days old and no pals yet - maybe tomorrow
