      • Yup. In due course I shall blog a set of gratuitously cute lamb photos.

        This year we have only done two ewes – just not enough grazing to let the flock grow bigger. Yesterday, ewe number one delivered twins just after dawn, and number two produced a singleton after lunch, so a full night’s sleep is now feasible.
        As we discovered – it doesn’t matter whether we lamb them all or just a sub-set, until the last one is done it’s nearly as tiring either way.

        • haha I’ve never lambed, but I have a friend who raises goats and it’s much the same. 🙂 My aunt lambs and they always have to call in help from their kids. because they have a pretty good-size flock. They live too far away for us to come help, though. 😦 I’d love to read about your lambing! ❤
