Since I last updated we have had many lambs with all of our sheep so far having multiples, with two sets of triplets! This has left us with a total of 66 sheep on the farm at the moment (30 adults 36 lambs) with more lambs on they way. Yesterday mum took last years lambs to Salisbury market where we got £95 for the fatter ones and £89 for the skinnier ones, giving us the second highest prices of the day.
Two and a half weeks ago I tried at a new haflinger called Nina She seemed very nice and calm when riding her in the school and hacking her out. So we agreed to have her on a 3 week loan trial with the view to buy. However when taken out for hack she was extremely green, even after we had given her time to settle in, obviously there has been some lying along the line. But she is going back this weekend and we are going to try out a mare called Charlie!!
