We had another arrival this morning! This time assistance was needed, it was very hard pulling the lamb out, but eventually it he arrived still in one piece! We have called him Taylor after the family who were staying with us. Taylor a ram was large with very long legs. I had to help with the first feeding as it is essential that a lamb gets clostrum in the first 6 hours and nothing was happening so I put the lamb to its mothers udder sucessfully. Last check both mums and both lambs doing really well.
We had terrible thunder and lighting last night and lots of rain, so ideal conditions to muck out the holding pens.
Tried our latest batch of salt cured bacon this morning, very good although I say so myself, should keep us going for a next month.
We celebrated by going down to the fox and hounds for a delicous lunch their Bang Bang Chicken and Honeycombe Ice Cream are the best!
Hello, We are so honoured that you named the little lamb after our family! We're so pleased he is doing well. We all had a lovely time so thank you so much. We'll keep up with your blog and will write a (sparkling) review of our stay on your website later on. Thanks again. The Taylor family x
