Lambing nearly done, but there's always one!

So out of 12 ewes we've had 20 live lambs, and 6 that have died. And there's still one left to go, at three weeks over due, hope there's no problems there.

Polaris, the first live lamb is doing really well, she looks really healthy and chunky, a good texel cross and enjoys running up and down the field with a bunch of other lambs

.Sunny the Godzilla Lamb had her first this year, not as big as I'd hoped so will not be kept, but maybe next year Sunny will have the perfect Lamb to keep on, and perhaps go to the Lincolnshire show with.

Tinker of course had triplets again this year one of them being a little weedier so we started bottle feeding it, but then its sister wanted some as well. Now the two lambs are a lot fatter than their brother... oh dear...

Now I have a difficult decision to make as to which Lamb to keep this year (we always keep one, to enhance breeding stock) Polaris, who is very chunky and a good shape for breeding. Or Markab (Sprite) who was bottle fed, comes from Tinkers line (very good mothers) and is more tame than Polaris. Hmm...

The YFC Rally is coming up in May and somehow I've signed up for some very strange things, egg and spoon race, know your farm breeds quiz and sheep judging as well as the handbook cover again, I must have been half asleep when my name was being put down.

Also my GCSE exams start mid may, eep! I should be revising but I've been busy over the holidays, and the times when I'm not busy I really cannot be bothered to do anything but sleep, Oh well I shall do my revising the proper way; all on the night before the exam.
