More lambs (hurrah!!)

We had given up the meat flock having lambs. Harris died in October, which is just before the breeding season. We kept his son, but weren't sure if he would be old enough - although we have found that normally lambs born in spring can father more lambs by autumn, but as time went by we gave up expecting it.

Witth two lambs born this weekend he was obviously having fun 5 months ago!

The nearest one to the camera has a black mother, granny was a Jacob and her mother and father I think are half brother and sister?? It gets confusing.

The further away one is with her mother, I don't think her parents are so closely related.

The lamb Doug is holding above, decided the dog was her mum. The dog took fright at this, it was very funny seeing the dog run away as a little lamb ran after her bahhing madly.

Here are the other flock with all their lambs (5 ewes, 5 lambs and a ram) we tried to catch them to worm, but they were having none of it. We will need to take them in to the field with the hurdles to do it. We did catch Raasey and weigh him which was useful (20kg) as there is a lot of guesswork in how much wormer to give. The one we have sounded bad if we overdosed.
