Simple joys. She adores this lamb and spends her days “teaching” it and brushing it, Penny’s suffering hearing loss at the moment and can feel quite isolated from other humans but this lamb brings back her confidence and smile! #farmkids#lambing18#sheep#NextGeneration
Weeeeeeeee this is how we slide!! Easiest way we’ve found to treat and vaccinate lots of little lambs accurately, rustic yet effective...bit like the shepherd 😆 #Lambing19#teamsheep#sheep365@sheep_farmers
Pet lambs excited we’re dismantling the pens! Phase 1 lambing declared over. Dad made these pens 40yrs ago and each yr still builds/takes them down at 75, he’s my hero, farming Dads are very special people ❤️ #Lambing19#backbritishfarming@FarmersGuardian
Emergency night, mother sat down against the wall as lamb was coming backwards and broke her leg. Faced with difficult decision whether to save her life and so pleased I did as she’s up and sucking like a trooper. She needs a name? #fridaymorning#lambing2020#FridayMotivation
Lost my best mate of 15 yrs today, he was my work colleague, my bestie, my right hand! Archie it was a privilege, big paws to fill, you’ll be rolling in badger poo and finally going away wide tonight ❤️❤️ #lambing2020#dogsduringlockdown
Small yet mighty!! Too small to survive on the ewe as she couldn’t reach teats but not stopped her going for it as a pet lamb! Name suggestions welcome? #Lambing19#FridayFeeling
Tide in and tide out!! Quite therapeutic watching them 😆 Pet lambs very keen on their freshly mucked out pen, it’s their very own 5* hotel but without the confusing Gin selection and hefty bill #Lambing19#farming#SpringWatch#Easter2019
