Usk Valley Hot Toddy and Dovecot Luna Moon are seeking new grass to eat, Toddy is 4 years old, Luna is her lamb from this year and is 2months old.

Toddy has successfully reared 2 crops of lambs previously, she has a good udder, good teeth, halter trained, has been shown successfully.

Luna is “mismarked” as she has a large mark on the shoulder. This wouldn’t stop her chances of breeding a perfectly marked lamb with the right ram.
Both are friendly, Luna is super friendly and enjoys human company.
They will need to have other friends so Luna can be weaned in a couple of months.

We do have also have a weaned wether lamb who could join them. Lord Louie 🥰

Based Near Lyndhurst New Forest.

What a Day! Mai seemed to start her labour yesterday when she displayed the clear string we all expected, she was uncomfortable through the night, Textbook right!? Hmmm well early morning Mai became more restless and more fluid appeared, but not a lamb in sight.
Couple of hours of little pushes and then some big pushes, still no sight of any lambs.
Now do we panic??Yep! We checked her internally to feel what was going on, when Lara confidently said “correct presentation” what a relief! Until her faces changed and said “I can feel a third leg, oh no make that four!”
What a mess Mai lambs had got themselves in,
Some manipulating, pushing and pulling, we managed to pop the head out of one and hopefully the correct set of legs, first out was Lord Louie a whopping great boy, and coming out backwards was Lady Lillibet! We couldn’t believe it, a slow and stressful start but they were both breathing and alive! Success, but certainly not Textbook! Thankfully we acting fast otherwise we would be telling a very different story!

So proud you of Mai.

Thank you Lara without you it could have been a very different ending.

I’m not sure we’ve ever introduced you to Polly Pocket.
Polly was a surprise and unplanned birth who was born in May and was one of twin, unfortunately he sister didn’t make it, they were both so tiny.
It was touch and go with Polly for a while, we’ve always known she was diddy but we hoped she would catch up with the others.

On Sunday she will be 5 months old, today she had her first shear. She’s still tiny compared to her 6month old field mates. But she’s happy and healthy!

The gorgeous Mai is in with the Tup, we are all looking forward to seeing Jangas first offspring!

A beautiful evening here in the New Forest, although all the grass and the water is frozen solid, the crisp cold days are better than wet ones.

Yesterday we went to to collect our girls who had been with One of Their special tups!

A big thanks you to George and Amanda for taking great care of them!

As soon as we got home we did the first scan just to see if there were any little lambs wanting to say hello.

Toddy is potentially carrying twins and GG was a little to early to get a good image.

The girls have settled and happy to be home!
