Better?
Awwww, they are just the cutest little ones.
Thanks! I tried to do this once for a photo I posted, and it worked until I actually posted it when it went back to sideways. I'll try again next time!
There appears to be a problem with pictures at present.
not any round round here i thinkI'm not optimistic. Looks like she's only having the one and frankly it's looking a bit weedy and floppy. We'll have to see if it's still alive in the morning, it could surprise us.
@young Ed, have you seen much Schmallenberg around? I can't see anything outwardly wrong, limbs all there and flexing but I wonder if it's just a duff one.That's the thing about lambing, can be great and can be a real downer. Usually a mixture of both, to be fair.
both Lleyn (the breed, Welsh) i think by the looks of them (farmer who's rams covered ,mine doesn't use crayons so not sure which ram covered them) and both ewe labs (girls) so if i'm right about the breed they shall be kept for breeding and i will buy in some weathers (castrated male lambs) to fatten up for the freezer
Not surprised you were late replying - lambing is a job and a half on a proper scale!not any round round here i think
how many born, how many lost and how many left to lamb for you?
i'm all done down here, my 2 have lambed with no losses yet
sorry i was a bit late replying just been busy and distracted TBH
Cheers Ed
Sounds like a plan! We have a tiny flock - 6 ewes and a teg who will lamb next year. But we are retiring one of the old ewes as she really is past it now, we will keep her because she is a great "flock mother" as it were. We use a friend's ram as I wouldn't want to keep a ram, plus we would run out of grass with any more really.pure Lleyn ewes here and ran with a Charallois ram and a Lleyn ram i think. i'm almost dead certain both lambs are a result of the Lleyn ram which the farmer was also very happy with (new ram for this season)
how many ewes and how many rams do you have?
think i won't buy any ewes in (unless i lose any) now until i leave college in summer 2017 as it really isn't ideal to have them lambing whilst i'm not even about and at school/college. fortunately i have a very helpful, generous and knowledgeable boss a mile round the corner so if it does hit the fan whilst i'm not about he is the go to man
then in my final spring/summer of college in 2017 i think i'll go out and buy a load of ewe lambs to try and get the sheep bringing in some money
Cheers Ed
sounds a nice small set up
no ram here yet, i throw them in with my bosses, it does help to work for and get friendly with a few local farmers 
Wow, sounds amazing! My nephew is hoping to go to Hadlow in September but he's doing tree surgery so I'm not sure you'll see him. Supposed to be a great place.sounds a nice small set up
dads thinking of building a new 100X60ft barn so i'm considering emptying it over winter and then throwing every sheep i have in there for lambing and then just turn them out on to rented grazing
and yeah hadlow is where i'm heading, come september if i have 5 A*-D grades i will do one year of level to agri and then 2 years of level agricultural engineering or if i have 5 A*-C in september i will go straight for 2 years level 3 agricultural engineering
then after that hopefully get a job in the workshop of a big massey ferguson or john deere etc dealership for a few years to earn together the money to go and set up my own farm properly and become a part time self employed mobile ag mechanic
Cheers Ed
glad to here you've had your last
so how many did you get in the end? how many boys and how many girls?
are you planning to keep any girls for breeding?
Cheers Ed
