The lambs were absolutely starving and it was more like a rugby scrum than feeding time. By the time they had fininshed, both Jess and I felt like our fingers had been chopped off.
In stark contrast, when we got back for the 10am feed, the sun was out andf it was almost tshirt weather. Again, the feeding was a frenzy. The great news was the one I call Bambi fed from the bucket rather than a bottle, progress.
Steve and I spent a few hours in the sun reclaiming some fencing and hammering in posts - hiopefully by the end of the Bank Holiday we will have a secure large paddock and can allow the older lambs to roam. During this time, Jess was getting very involved with the little ones as you can see from the below video!!!
TIP OF THE DAY: Put some creep feed out for the bigger ones before walking through their pen with buckets of milk.
