Today we weaned the lambs.


The ewes are in the front paddock next to the house.

Baaaa Baaaa

The lambs are in the back paddock far away.

baaa baaa baaa baaa


Oh dear!

Not much sleep tonight.

Hahaha - what you can do with font size!!

Poor mums and lambs - must be traumatic.

Have you got ear plugs???

I called it the Shorn chorus. :) 16 of the old mums have now left. 28 remain and there are a few to come back from a grazing holiday. Plenty of lambs to drench once we get some.

Oh, this is a sad post :-(

So they won't wean on their own?

Some do, most don't. We leave them together longer than they should. Big lambs are hard on their mums. The ewes lose weight and struggle.
