Happy Ewe Year!

Hello and happy new year everyone!
We hope you all had a wonderful festive season!

Well we have been busy - after the mad dash of Christmas, it was straight in to our lambing season... no rest for the wicked!

Despite the cold and the wet, we've had some lovely lambs born so far and we're nearing the half way mark for ewes due. Phew! Our Suffolk lambs are black and fluffy with huge ears which is oddly adorable! We keep them warm under heat lamps and on days like today, they love a good sunbath in the sheds when the sun makes a rare appearance.

We will now be lambing until April so I'm sure there will be a few  pictures to follow. We also have some more little ones arriving soon - our calves are due soon and at the end of February we are expecting some lovely little piglets. What an exciting start to the new year!
