but we're not supposed to start lambing until the end of the first week of October. We lamb then because that is when the grass has started really growing (hopefully) and the weather is more settled (not always), but seriously it is the best time for here. Any later and things can start to dry out and the lambs don't get the good start they should, and we do get storms at all times of the year here. I remember one December having 10cm of snow fall.
This ewe (note she is uncrutched) was supposed to be "dog tucker", meaning the Boss was going to kill her to feed to the dogs as she didn't look like she'd survive the Autumn, let alone the Winter! So where did he put her, but with the dog tucker Rams - and obviously they were not on their last legs at all were they!!
