It was a great winter for the animals this year, and the ewes are showing it. Usually they would be getting grain at this time of year because the lambs are growing a lot so their nutritional  requirements are high; but this year they are in such good shape it really isn’t necessary. They are getting good quality hay, and they continue to graze stockpiled grass. 

   

Next week we will bring the ewes back close to the yard, as lambing should start by about the 10th of April.
