Spring 2014

Spring is here with the arrival of  our first calves last week – both calves were born unaided on the hill and are enjoying some spring sunshine.  All the ewes have been housed for lambing, which is well under way.  The ewes stay inside until they lamb and once mother and offspring have bonded and the weather is favourable they are then put out onto the grass fields.  Lots of late nights, early mornings and ‘ready’ meals at this time of year but it is an enjoyable time year and when you see the calves and lambs skipping in the sunshine it makes all the hard work worthwhile.
