There was a short break in the weather yesterday so we managed to get a few of the ewes & lambs outside at last!
Here are the quads who are doing amazingly well – at just over a week old they are 5 – 6kg. Mum has brought them up without any assistance from us (but she is eating loads!). We will keep a close eye on them all to check she can manage but so far so good!

The lambs are good at finding places to shelter from the weather!🌧🌬💨🌦

The sheep are a little perturbed by the squatter that’s moved into their hay rack – the sharp peck on the nose delivered when they tried to move her on was just too much!🐔🐏

It’s not only the sheep that have been busy! There’s going to be a lot of tadpoles in the pond this year!🐸🐸🐸

I watched them being born yesterday, wonderful and they’ve all got “ panda-eyes”, just like Mum!
Quads! Our expected triplets turned out to be a set of quads – they are small but feisty & mum is doing a sterling job in looking after them!
The last one was born at 3.30am so feeling a bit tired today!
You can see them here

At first I only saw about the first 1/3rd of the picture and I thought it was a skunk!
She will be the mummy of mummies !
The lambing pens are all filled up! – Storm Freya (gusting 50mph & heavy rain) have meant we haven’t put any lambs outside yet – we have room to make up one more pen so hope the sun shines tomorrow!🌧🌧☀️

It was a busy day yesterday – triplets & a single. The births were well timed as we were able to foster one of the triplets on to the ewe with a single lamb. It’s much easier for a ewe to bring up twins rather than triplets!
10 live births so far – 9 ram & one ewe lamb – really hope we start getting a few more girls 🐏🐏🐏🐏
You can watch the sheep (&maybe see lambing!) via our lambcam

Three more lovely ram lambs were born early this morning. We were expecting triplets but this ewe actually had quads! Our first ever! – sadly, they had all got a bit muddled up inside mum & number four didn’t make it which was really sad🐏🐏🐏😓🐏

Aren't they pretty!
Quads – wow! Sad one didn’t make it. Looks like you’re going to be busy over the next couple of days. I hope you manage to get some sleep💤💤
Here they are! – our first lambs of 2019. This pair of ram lambs were born just before 2am this morning.
We are expecting a single & a set of triplets anytime now too!

😍😍😍 beauty’s
I can watch the lamb-cam for hours, wrapped up in their movements, trying to guess who’s next! In fact, so many of your Jacobs look just like mine, that I find myself wondering which one of mine is going to lamb next.....and we’re not even lambing this year!! Oooops 😉🐏
So cute!
I seem to recall Simon saying it would happen about 3am .... what went wrong? 🤔
I want to bring Bella to see them! So cute! X
Well – the lamb pens are up & cleaned & ready. We just need to add lambs (& some straw!)
First lambs are due tomorrow but could arrive anytime soon – don’t forget you can watch live on our lambcam
