There are dozens of them running around bleating in my front paddock.
Is there anything cuter?:D

The same lamb in six months time, roasted, slightly rare, with mint sauce and new potatoes and English spinach.:)
 
Lunch is at your door begging to be made into lunch?! That's bullshit. I work nine hour days to exchange money for food that doesn't do anything but force me to process it into lunch and yours comes up and begs. This shit is no fair.
 

I will take pics when I can, later today.
I sorta have to wait till they're close up to the house fence as I'm one- armed and a little fragile after surgery yesterday.

ps. Typing lefthanded is no fun.
 
For those who want pics, I don't think they're going to happen today.
It's 1030am here now, and the temp has just struggled to 5 deg C. All the mummy sheeps are down the hill in the hollow (the front paddock falls away about 60 metres downhill from the house) and they've got their babies all bunched together to get out of the gale-force winds we're experiencing here today.
And it's snowing lightly.

I've just sent the boys down to pick up the ones that didn't survive the night.
 
Keep 'em warm!

Keep 'em from prolapsing!

Rib and Loin, twins from last year, were an emergency caesarian from a prolapse. I hate it when that happens - most often, the ewe can't be saved either.
But we decided to hand-rear them, and tey were lovely with baby potatoes and parsnip mash and rosemary gravy :cool:
