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.

After turning my attention to feeding cade lambs I reopened the keyboard to add missing parts that I'd left out yesterday.
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.
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.
Adult Baby
Arrived at my flat, washing machine is knackered in that my clothes are more dirty [from flow back] after washing cycle than they went in; I am assuming neighbour's ABDL nappies are to blame for a flat block drain blockage.
Daffodils
Another morning at the farmhouse, it's been weeks since I stayed more than a few days at my flat, but lambing is almost over.
Longtown
We're in transit most today, transporting ewes and lambs; our grass keep is ready 1st of April, it will be a relief to have some peace from the endless jeering of sheep.
Lambing
This morning I woke to the sound of Sam the Sheep dog barking, peering out of three windows I saw nothing unusual, but through the forth window I discovered a mother ewe licking her newborn lamb, now there is only three ewes left to lamb.
Poly tunnel
The rain relentlessly poured down this morning as though the sopping drench would never dissipate.
Lambing
All lambs are well, we've had a shortfall of chaff, so are purchasing lamb and ewe nuts for the flock as an addition to bales of haylage. We have just under three weeks until the flock goes to grass keep; I will be relieved to see them go, the farmhouse is noisy as hell.
Rook
Bird settled on power lines beside the farmhouse study, few feet away from me.
Lambs
We have half a dozen cade lambs, more than last year, this is significant considering there has been a reduction in the flock this year.
