Time to bring the ewes into the barn. Still ten days to go before the first lambs are expected but it is good to get them settled in. There is rain forecast on and off for the next week and it is better to bring sheep indoors when they are dry. With very little grass to nibble, they are mainly eating hay and some supplementary feed. Wiltshire Horn sheep are fine for lambing outside but I find indoor lambing much easier to manage, especially if any births are going a little wayward. Some mild weather now will be helpful to get the grass growing again.
