The merinos and their lambs came in for a check over yesterday afternoon and then went out onto some fresh pasture. As wool sheep the merinos prefer a short nibble of grass and so, despite going completely against the grain for us, we leave them in the heavily grazed lambing fields long after lambing! During April the single (ewes due to have one lamb) are kept tight in an area of the meadow. As they lamb every other breed goes out onto lush grass and the merinos stay. We increase the area they have gradually but they actually prefer the short grass area!! It’s only now, a month later that we change the field and rest the meadow at long last!!

Calling in the Dalesbred ewes and their lambs this afternoon. Some have pure Dalesbred lambs, others have been crossed with a Teeswater ram and have Masham lambs at foot.

90%ish of April lambing is done, just 13 left to go. The moments can be tough, the tricky lambing’s in the rain when every thing feels a hopeless battle. But those moments pass and the memory is of a gorgeous Easter holiday time with lots of sunshine. Children that want to be outside every second of the day and don’t want to miss a moment. Us too, pottering about the farm mixing moments of exploring with the feeding up and checking of sheep and cattle.

Far from polished images, just some snap shots and odd moments caught when taking a step back to take it all in.

Back to school routines this week. The shed gets emptier by the day with more cattle out and less ewes coming in by night. Getting life and the house straight again after the blur of lambing.

Once they are strong enough all of the ewes with doubles head out into one field together where the grass is growing in the spring sunshine and they have fodder beet as well as some extra sheep cake each afternoon. Feeding time is always a gorgeous time to stop and watch them, especially when the sun comes out and they are set against this view across south Devon.
