Maundy Thursday and lambing was completed today with twin ram lambs born this morning. We have ended up with eleven healthy lambs: Six ewe lambs and five ram lambs. One of the eleven is a single the rest are twins. Lambing was completed in four weeks to the day. This included a ten day interlude between the penultimate ewe to lamb and today's arrivals.
Most of the ewes and their lambs are out to grass. I held back one set to keep the last ewe company in the lambing shed but she and her offspring have now joined the main flock. The rejected, bottle fed lamb is still in the barn but he will join the others shortly too.
It is always good to o see the ewes and their lambs grazing and watching the regular late afternoon and early evening antics of the lambs who like to play all together at this time of the day.
