Lambing 2018 Day 3 – Bringing in the re-inforcements

Lambing 2018 Day 3 – Bringing in the re-inforcements

The weather for the early morning feed run was  better today. It had rained through the night which can often lead to a wee burst of new lambs, it didn’t happen yesterday so I had high hopes today would be the day. Glen and I headed off on the quad. All the ewes came into feed including a new lamb. …

Lambing 2018 Day 2 – A quiet Day

I woke up to the wind and rain which was unwelcome after the week of good weather since arriving on the West! Thankfully though it wasn’t cold. I headed off on the quad with Glen, the trusty collie dog, leading the way to feed the expectant ewes. It is a good opportunity when the ewes come into feed to survey …

Lambing Day 2 – A Fit Farming Life

Lambing Day 2 – A Fit Farming Life

Sadly the wee lamb we took in last night died. The ewe didn’t have enough milk to sustain the lamb in the crucial first few days of life. The sheep are fed sheep nuts every morning. They are all so keen to get fed that it is very easy to get knocked over by them! The dog hides under the …

Lambing Blog – Day 1

Fiona and the girls have all headed west for a couple of weeks to help out with the lambing over there on Fiona’s family farm.  Whilst they are over there they are keeping a daily blog.
