With all the moaning about sheep graziers alerts you will have gathered we have some lambing happening. Not planned, not wanted and the wrong time of year for this area. We were late weaning our lambs due to all the wet weather in January,and the prolonged access problem, with our road being impassable for the best part of a month. We got the lambs weaned about a month later than usual, and the consequence is lambs now. The ram lambs at four months began serving their mothers, aunts, mothers' friends, and, being after the summer solstice, everything must have been cycling like mad. Result is a big mess, lots of full blood lambs which can't be registered with the Society, ( as we don't know their sires). In this business you live and learn, more often than we would like.
Lesson number 208, never to be forgotten
