Cheeky the Lamb |

RIP Cheeky
This morning, when I went to the field early to check up on things, Cheeky, our little black lamb had passed away. He was a real character when we first got him, always pushing and shoving the others to get to milk and food. He has been poorly on and off for a few weeks and it is really sad to loose him in this way.....
Mixed Fortunes...
It has been a month since my last post and quite a bit has happened since then!
During several weeks of non stop rain, our field turned into a swamp and it was impossible to get much work done on fencing. We kept having to extend both paddocks in various directions to ensure the lambs had enough grass (the babies being weaned now). A couple more went down with mild bloat but seemed to recover. Our limper continued to limp but did not seem to bothered about it.
