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.

Twins Galore

After yesterdays arrivals I expected it would be another few days before any more lambs appeared, so it was a surprise when five lambs were born within the space of four hours today! Hugh had to be both herd and engineer while I was at college and by the time I arrived home they were all tucked up in their little pens. Tonight the ewes had their manicures and a quick brazilian before being numbered along with their lambs with red ink. Hopefully they can be turned out in the morning if the weather is ok. Will post photos later.
