Rain, Mud, Rain, Mud........!

You've guessed it, the recent rain has turned parts of the lamb's paddock into something resembling a swamp! Looks like the rain is here to stay for a few more days yet too.

I did the evening feed on Friday, first time I had seen the babies for 3 days and could not believe how much they had grown.

Today it was three feeds and a few housekeeping jobs. The feeding area was a complete mud pool so I put together another feeding station to give the area a chance to recover. It will also enable the lambs to have a little more room to feed for their last week or so of milk. A bale of straw was also spread around to try and soak up some of the mud and rain and looked to be doing the job.

Jess did a great job of amusing the lambs while I put the new feeding station together which was quite useful as initially they seemed a bit to keen on investigating the drilling for their own good!

A few new pictures and a video below.
