Seagazer Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Lovely photos Lewis We were at the Rare Breeds Centre near Ashford last week (lots of lovely chickens) and they had some ewes that were in various stages of lambing. One had only just had her little lamb, who was stumbling around trying to stand up. My little nephew was looking at the ewe and asking what all the dangling bits were so he had a little lesson in lambing. They were so beautiful.

Lewis Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 My little nephew was looking at the ewe and asking what all the dangling bits were so he had a little lesson in lambing. They were so beautiful. One of the farmers friends was asking about sheep 'piggy backs' so had a lesson ... then told the rest of his Reception class at school the next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I love the grumpy ewes Which breed are the lambs Lewis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Which breed are the lambs Lewis? Ewes are Welsh Mules (Welsh Mountain X Bluefaced Leicester) and the rams/tups are Charollais They have just pedigree Charollais too which they show + breed, but they have a different 'year' so the lambs are all born in January. Only got old photos of them: - want some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 No thank you! - 4 bottle fed lambs are quite enough! We're trying to get back to pure Shetlands - looking for a local'ish Shetland Ram to borrow in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
