Still lambing here, got a lamb today out of a yow that had originally been marked as a cull, its mates went a month since. Think there's a hogg in lamb aswel, then we'll be gathering the fell before long so we'll see if any that were marked geld have had lambs, sounds like we don't have a clue whats going on!

Aye,that happens here.

The hogg lambed earlier this week, we gathered the fell today for clipping and I've got 6 bonus lambs out of yows that were marked geld, some will be 3 weeks old, some 3 days old, that should be us done now! Was I last?
