New born lambs

Wow, lambing at the farm is in full flow.  Pam and I actually watched a lamb being born!  What an amazing opportunity.  It is incredible that literally seconds after they are born they are up on those tiny skinny legs and walking around.  Those first few minutes are full of activity as the new lambs need to suckle and mum needs to clean them up and encourage them to walk.  Rach has preventative medication to give to each one, they need to be weighed and then moved to their own pen.  The shed is reconfigured several times a day to accommodate each new arrival and their mum’s so they have space to themselves.  It is a logistical exercise that would be admired by the military.  Talk about a refreshing way to recuperate from this rotten virus, to stay with Si and Rach and watch their farm at work.
