Lambing update

Oh it’s a cold breeze today could of done with gloves at 0730 this morning. 




Ready to go into the fields! 
Went from feeding, watering, hay and straw in 20 plus pens in a morning to 14.
Mornings are feeding poultry. And ducklings then onto sheep. 

Sheep 
Mix up lamb milk for the lambs to drink in a few hours. Feeding each ewe in each pen adding hay to ach pen and then straw. Finishing off with cleaning and filling water buckets. 

Health and welfare check of each ewe and her lambs. 
Some photos 

Lambs numbered so we can identify any lamb that needs attention. Might be not feeding as it should or ill or thriving. This lot all doing well

The ladies to lamb. We are down to 13 left

How the hay gets to sheep for feeding. 
After that. Check regular through day and supervise lambing. Pen ewe and lambs. Feed up again at teatime. 
By time we fed ourselves and ensured hey, clean pens and water at least a 12 hour day gone by!! 

All cute on here but hard graft and sad parts that I not going to put on my blog. 

Only 13 to go!
