This morning l let Lala out into the paddock with her lambs. They thought it was great fun and in between bouts of sleeping in the sunshine and feeding,they had great games together with sometimes all 8 little legs off the ground at the same time!
Exhausting though!!!
When Geoff got home we took a walk up the top of the big paddock as we hadn't been up there for a while. When we were at the top we noticed a sheep tucked along the fence line of the paddock we had just come from. When we thought about we realised it was Pookie as we hadn't seen her when we had walked through. We went back down to check her out and there she was with one little lamb! It was getting cool and the lamb had been born quite late in the evening and was still wet and very cold so we hoisted her up and slowly made our way down to the yards. It's a nice feeling knowing their first night is snuggled up in warm bed as opposed to a wet paddock!! Pookie had a feed, a drink and some hay and settled down for a rest beside her new baby.
Yep, hard to see, quite yellow and tiny but there IS a lamb in that hay!!
