February 2012

Spring is just around the corner – day length is stretching, the snowdrops are flowering and spring bulbs are popping through the ground.  The cattle and sheep have come through the worst of the winter in remarkably good condition.  We pregnancy scanned the ewes this week and will now separate them into groups depending on whether they are going to have a single lamb, twin lambs or as is the case from time to time are barren.  The cows are all in calf with the first one due in early March.
