Mable had her twins last week:
Lenny who would have been perfect had he not had a big black splodge 1/2 way up in his tail 🙄. So he has been wethered.

Lola a little ewe lamb who is missing 1 knee patch. Available at weaning. And will be registered and DNA tested.

Louis went off to his new home today……always sad when they leave especially when they are as special as Louis. 🥰.
Looking forward to see babies from him in the future and hopefully see him at future shows!

Yesterday I took a road trip to collect this rather beautiful ram lamb. Thank you to Sarah at Maybrook Valais for letting me have him he really is beautiful and Louis is a little in love with him. Unfortunately he won’t be white too long with our red soil! Welcome little Lloyd 🥰

He also got 4th place at the show yesterday in a strong class of 13

Kip who went off to Scotland earlier this year is now a Dad and what a cracker this little tup is. I hear some more lambs are in the way so he has been a busy boy!

Couldn’t resist buying this from my first lot of “winnings” to use as a splash back in the shepherds hut. Just in case you were wondering first prize was £32! 😂😂

A bit slow with the results from Bath and West show as I got the lurgy immediately on return 🙄😷

The only lamb I took was Louis who got 4th in ram lamb - the judge did comment saying he will be a smashing ram.
Jubilee who got 5th In shearling ewe (there was a lot in this class and the judge said he couldn’t take his eyes off her 🥰) and jinx was the judge’s favourite apparently according to Susie 😂
We got 1st place with the group of 3
I decided not to enter the wool section this time.

It was all about learning as to what each judge likes as being new to this we are still learning as this was our second showing and first time in some classes 🤦‍♀️

Last class this morning- 1st in “wool on the hoof” in valais class then reserve champion in the “long wool” wool on the hoof.

17/05/2024

So this happened yesterday I entered 3 classes and first time showing and got a 1st at Devon County for shearling ram with King Tut and 5th with Louis in the ram lamb class. One more class to enter tomorrow (wool)

Mindy had her lamb early yesterday morning and boy was it cold 🥶 at that time - he was a big long lamb I did think he should be called Longfellow or Little John 😂. Anyway he will be a wether as he left his front knee patch in the womb 🙄. He needs a name and I still haven’t named the other boy yet.

Here he is a couple of hours old

Had a busy week - all sheep and alpacas were heptavac (1st injections for some) and wormed and fluked all. We also had delivery of Peanut who came to us after loosing his companion. He is a youngster and quite funny, halter trained and loves a neck rub! Now I have 3 I need help walking them - any volunteers? With the 2 girls as well of course 🐏
