First lamb of the year spotted a couple of days ago, though judging by its size it was born before Christmas.

Hooray, I love spotting the first lambs. I saw some around Christmas time a few years ago near Redditch, but haven't seen any that early since. Lets hope it stays drier, lambs really don't thrive in the wet. They tend to die

My Sister in law, only put the rams in with the ewes a few weeks ago, so no lambs here for a good while. She does this to save on food costs through the winter. And also to try and miss this dreaded Shmelemburg, (sorry about the spelling), it really is a horrible disease.
