Nearly Lambing

Its now only a few days till the lambs are born, so today mum and I are bringing the sheep into the barn. Unfortunately one of our Ryelands developed a foot abscess and although we treated this for three weeks, she developed  twin lamb disease last week and did not make it.  We were advised by our vet throughout and unfortunately she did not respond to treatment.  This was a major blow, as she was young and in good condition but the shock of the abscess so close to lambing was too much.  We have 21 ewes ready to lamb. We have two Ryelands lambing amongst the 21 sheep lambing and I can't wait to see what their lambs look like. Fingers crossed for not too many problems!

Some lambs from previous years!
