Default The waiting game

First lambs were born from the flock mine went in with which means that mine are going to be born anytime now. Just been to check them for the third time today and no signs yet watch this space. I will be going down again before bed and then again at 4am ish. They are hard to tell apart when it is dark and your using a torch, I need to adjust to it.

Well went down again at around midnight, 4am and 8am and not a thing yet. but I am hoping they are born in the daylight so I can see. It was a bit strange going down in the middle of the night and by torch light but I can tell who is who now I think.

I imagine it would be a bit scary too! Was it a full moon again last night? Do you have them inside at night? In a lambing shed or something?

How many are you 'expecting'?!

I lamb outside in a field, the moon was nearly full which does help as I can see shapes without using a torch. I have only put my two oldest experienced ewes in was going to use all six but there wasn't a ram who was not related to them. I am glad now though as I do think I will get triplets off at least one.
No sign of any yet but it has been steady at Far Ings too (only one set of twins)and they are lambing 45 sheep. I have just stocked up my lambing kit so I am ready now.
I get a little scared going down at night as there is a campsite next door with contractors who I am a bit weary of but other than that it is ok.
Can't wait til they have arrived safely though.

Oh yes, I remember you saying about the rams now...

There are loads of lambs up here at the moment, but to be honest, I think they're lambing pretty much the whole year round now as they use warm sheds etc. There always seem to be new lambs around.

Saw a very tiny

Wow, exciting and nervewracking too I guess. We went out into the downs last weekend and saw some little lambs - we were actually looking to see if there were any baby llamba's, but there weren't any. But they are still lovely.
