The Last Couple of Weeks

The ewes are getting close to lambing now with only a couple of weeks to go.


They have been brought to a field nearer to the house and have to be checked twice a day now. It is easy for them to get onto their backs at this stage.


It is more healthy for them to be outside for as long as possible but they do need some extra feeding with hay.



It comes in useful as a leaning post to rest those tired legs too!

  3. That last one looks like a cartoon sheep! Brilliant! I'm sure one very like this appeared in a Mr Forgetful story about "a sheep loose in the lane"!! Sadly no joy as yet with the Oil of Cassia - herbalist, aromatherapist and pharmacist mates all drew a blank. One last person to try...
