let’s hope weather stays decent
 
That's my first lot finished, get the last of them outside tomorrow, on to a rented bit that had nothing on it since October, so a wee bit on it, but cold again tonight, East wind, but dry, only had about 15hrs mild and back to cold, rest of ewes and gimmer started around the 6th, so a few night full sleep.

The like is for the 250 you got out today and yesterday, it’s a ‘ not like’ for the weather forecast. It must feel better to have some breathing room in the lambing shed now.

Ayebit feels better but still have 4 creches full still, got the last of then ringed and tagged tonight so will probably turn the best out tomorra. Lifted afew lambs off some twins after losing afew that I should off took off so desided now if in dought lift it and stick it on the feeder till I can foster, nowt to loose only the lamb if I don't lift it.

Fair got throw un the last 2 week, 447, at 9 pm tonight down to the last 71. Slow day only 11.
Couple of shearlings that's doing the wall of death round the pen:banghead: when ever her lamb gets close so now its the stocks for them. Little Jimmy's progressed for the bottle to the feeder, didnt think it would reach but he's a tryer, oh and little Jimmy's now a she, just show what lack of sleep does 🙄. Hopefully will get her a new mum before long (y)..

Well alls quiet so am gonna get some 😴😴😴

Very modern farming up there allowing lambs to identify as they want.
