Lamb Watch Day 5

It was a quiet day today, with no new lambs, but there was still plenty to do.  We got stuck in to the yard work, feeding the chickens and rabbits, and mucking out the pygmy goats.  We also had to give a couple of alpacas vitamin injections.

Tsunami is feeding well, as are Proton and Neutron, the two Castlemilt Morrit lambs born on day one.  We also want to introduce you to the new members of the O'Shea herd, which we bought at market - Hook, Line & Sinker.  Hook is a Blue-Faced Leicester ewe, and Line is her daughter - a Blue Faced Leicester cross.  Sinker is a beautiful black Blue Faced Leicester ewe lamb.  Hook has such a beautiful fleece - very fine and in tiny spirals.
