Lambing has kicked off with impeccable timing this year a couple of days into some lovely warm weather that is set to continue. It is such a pleasure to be able to let nature take its course with the ewes choosing their spot in the grass and allowing the newborns to be warmed by the spring sun. A few days prior, the rivers were in spate and cold and wet nights would have endangered the lambs but this weather is perfect.
The onset of spring also means good grass for the ewes which means rich milk and faster growing lambs.
We have had a single on Thursday last week and two more singles yesterday and today so fingers crossed for some twins.
Roast lamb for Easter is unrealistic but could be possible in early may!
