LAMBS, LAMBS AND MORE LAMBS!
Last Saturday we started lambing and its been non- stop with 7 ewes giving birth to 16 lambs, however one was stillborn. We have had two sets of live triplets four sets of twins and one single so far, 10 boys and 5 girls. This year I've been allowed to inject antibiotics into the ewes we assisted and do all the iodine and spectam. Last night I even assisted a first timer give birth to a massive ewe lamb. Furthermore as one of the ewes with triplets only has one teat working we decided to move one of the triplets onto the first time mother with a single and so far it has been a success! Only 16 left to go!
