NOTABLE MIDWIFERY TALES:
Things have slowed right down now. All the English Leicesters are done. (Still need to go through my numbers through as I’ve made a mistake somewhere!)
There are a couple of Merino ewes still to lamb. One lambed twins this afternoon but she only wants one. I am not amused.
Meanwhile…. enjoy the lambs in the sunshine 🙂
And a snippet of the chaos and mayhem that as we get ready for feed time!
Way too many on the bottle but I guess that means I saved them….
