With lambing now over, we are at last getting a decent bit of grass growth, after a very long winter,however, the late season means that haymaking will also be delayed, so here's hoping for some good weather in mid-June.
We had 34 lambs this year, with 20 females and 14 males. Had our first ever cesearian which went very well, but unfortunately lost the last lamb born, however we did manage to successfully foster on a little Texel -cross tup lamb, which mother loves to bits!
Already we have been to 3 shows,- Ayr,Stafford and Cumberland, with Woolfest at Cockermouth coming up at the end of June.
Splashed out on a new trailer for this year, as the old one must be a good 35 years old and was a little bit of a worry for taking on some of the longer hauls down south.The sheep seem to like it ,what with it's 3 separate rooms, plenty of ventilation, and even a night light!

Tup lambs Barony Scottie, Skoda and Staffa have now been sold .
We are holding on to Sporran, Shadow and Solo for showing at various events through the summer, and they will be available to buy as shearlings in early Autumn.
We hope to attend shows at Ayr, Stafford, Wigtown, Dumfries and Cumberland.  Also, Woolfest at Cockermouth, and The Scottish Smallholder's Festival at Lanark.

Intended sales are Lanark Rare Breed and Carlisle Rare Breed events.
We hope to see you somewhere along the way!
