  • Lambing proves to be positive

    Evening! What a day! I am knackered! I been lambing today and were in full swing. Lambing proves to be positive with results around 200% so the boss seems to be pleased. We have a few sets of triplets and a couple of ''poddy'' lambs which are getting bottle fed now. With it being my first...
