Loving the mineral tub as sheep feeder Nithy. Quality plastic durability and economy. Got a tower of them here on standby. Like the one's with the handles as you don't have to lean too far into the pen to feed the ewe , saving time and labour costs.3 days to go.
Went round the ewes after the rugby this evening, to find this girl had lambed in one of the most exposed places she could find... Triplets. 1 dead when I found them, 1 sitting with its head up, but the wind and rain was pulling it down. The 3rd laid out not much life, very cold. No idea how long they were born, its hard to tell in the rain...
Fetched her in, tubed both lambs and left them under the heatlamp. That was around 6pm. Back in at 10pm expecting the poorer one to either be dead or needing tubed again and in the heatbox over night.
Much to my surprise, both were up and going. The ewes bag sucked and both lambs full as barrels.
Oh aye, she is a Lleyn in the batch not due to start lambing for 2 weeks...
