We have put Lilly into the little garth in West Burton, with Peewee, Lupin and their lambs with the addition of Dixie and Tottie... all of whom were raised in this field as lambs and know how the gate on the pen works... it has a gap in it so that lambs can pass through to eat creep feed from the trough but mums can't get in..... except for this year.... when a modification has had to be made as Peewee and Tottie have made it very clear that they can still push through with a bit of effort!
We've been farming for nearly 7 years and each year we learn something new and revealing... This year we are seeing how ex pet lambs behave as mothers and as I've mentioned before Peewee has been outstanding!.. of course it also shows that sheep have extremely good memories... We have put Lilly into the little garth in West Burton, with Peewee, Lupin and their lambs with the addition of Dixie and Tottie... all of whom were raised in this field as lambs and know how the gate on the pen works... it has a gap in it so that lambs can pass through to eat creep feed from the trough but mums can't get in..... except for this year.... when a modification has had to be made as Peewee and Tottie have made it very clear that they can still push through with a bit of effort! I love this picture....... I do believe that one of Peewee's lambs is actually laughing at her!! ...... and these two will soon find out how to get through the gap and join the other 3..... if she lets them!!
