Woolly jumper donned? T'aint that cold out!
There's only one lamb there, raising questions about the other.
The calf was born on a relatives farm on the East Coast of County Clare. A little after 1:30 am. Been up from 6 the previous morning.

 

[young Ed]

other one is still yet to be born, fingers crossed!

wooly jumper, not that cold as you said hence i took the wooly jumper.... rather than my massive ex-police trench coat that apparently makes me look like a murderer??!!!

indeed i love my work life! yes it means constantly being on call 24/7, 265 days a year and many days are hard, tough work for a good 15+ hour day with very few, very short 'breaks' but i wouldn't ever trade it for sitting in a clean, climate controlled office with a comfy leather chair with tea and coffee on tap, working 9-5 with generous holidays and a 50 grand+ salary+bonuses etc. i would hate that! much rather suffer from sleep deprivation whilst mucking out lambing pens etc for 15 hours a day!

alright it's not always like that, sometimes there's tractor work to be done and the odd day at market. they're easier, shorter days that are pretty nice. but TBH i like every day of it!
Cheers Ed

What do you do for the other 100 days of the year?

 

[Drago]

Good for you buddy. It's heartwarming that someone has found their groove so early on in life.

I must admit, in old and knackered now so the air conditioned office with my desk next to the kettle suits me nicely.

 

[ChrisV]

I love my desk, big leather executive chair, my well placed lamp for those winter early evenings, real coffee as and when.

Love it!

 

[ChrisV]

Not saying I love my job ha ha just those aspects it!

Nice one Ed! Lovely lambs. We are still waiting for our first one to pop - they usually start around 23/24th April so we are wondering when it will be! Couple of our big old ewes are looking extremely fed-up and the size of a sofa. I'll post a pic when we get our first - if all goes well, as I have to add just in case....

Well done Ed, thanks for the pix.
