Most of the lambs in the poly tunnel have now weaned onto haylage.

Herdwick Lambs
My Herdwick ewe lambed male and female twins last night.
Tainted Milk
We're having trouble with one cade lamb that has seriously fallen behind, among other cade lambs he suffered stomach illness (from tainted powdered milk) the worst.
Lambs at Grass keep
We transported ewes and lambs, from the farmhouse to the grasskeep.
Longtown
I surmised the prevailing winds drying out land surrounding the farmhouse, but relentless rain returned placing rippling puddles everywhere.
Blackbird
After turning my attention to feeding cade lambs I reopened the keyboard to add missing parts that I'd left out yesterday.
Lindean Loch
We drove to Ashkirk, then to Selkirk grass keep to do a welfare check on the sheep. Charlie pulled over at Lindean Loch, I went for a walk, cool down from being triggered.
Deep clean
Farmhouse is undergoing a deep clean, evasively mystifying how the household dust and dirt creeps upon tables, chairs, sideboards etc, in view of being shattered senseless from day and nighttime lambing.
Flustered
Charlie collected me in the afternoon, our first destination was to Denholm to check the welfare of a "sleepy" lamb.
Loading
Woken very early, Charlie bottle-fed the cade lambs whilst I laid in bed; we travelled to Longtown and again experienced reckless overtaking from two cars passing us near the Scottish / English border.
Easter
This morning, Charlie woke me with a gift of an Easter egg. Today we sussed that the powered lamb milk power was tainted, we have already seen a vast improvement in their health from opening and feeding them from a fresh bag.
Sharing
Cooked Charlie a fruit cake yesterday, sharing should always be consensual.
