Lambing

The last two cades have gone outside this morning, it was fun to see them placed together, in their new environment.

I am glad of the silence in the farmhouse, the little tup cade has been bleating every hour for days! A ewe has given birth to three lambs, considering a ewe only has two teets, Charlie thinks that one will have to come inside in a few days as cade.

This lambs mother ewe has a bad bag, so she is here with her mother to be bottle fed.

This lamb was very poorly when she came to us, she had to be nursed indoors.

Bad bag, she's being treated with anti-biotic.

There are only eight more ewes left to lamb, we've run out of hurdles, and space is becoming limited. More grass keep is available at the end of the month, till then it's a tight ship. I wanted to return to my flat today, but have reluctantly agreed to stay another day and night because there is so much to do here. Lambing season is almost over, cades have another three weeks of bottle feeding, though.
