Lambs

We check our livestock every morning, to make sure everything is the right way up and that all is well! So this morning I took my camera with me and photographed some of the sheep.

The cold spring followed by a very dry early summer has meant that grass growth was well back on previous years. Consequently lamb growth has been slow, but as you can see they are looking well!

We weighed a few to check on progress. This fine specimen weighs 40kg, but at the moment he's the only one, with the rest averaging 34 to 35 kgs. So we should have lambs fit in another 3 to 4 weeks!
Our lambs this year are Full Symbol Organic Lambs, and we hope to start selling some of them direct to the consumer ready for the freezer. So if you are interested drop us a line!
