During this late lambing time, I've taken to popping over to the barn very early as all except Peewee and Dixie have never had lambs before.... I want to keep an eye on them and help where necessary! However on Saturday morning no help was required!
Do you remember Megan? She was a rejected lamb, given to me by a friend in the village who had only go her as a pet.... I had several so one more didn't make any difference to me........ Megan had ended up on the wrong side of a wall to her mother and when they had been reunited she had been rather badly battered! When I collected her she was bleeding from her jaw and was really nervous, but what a little love! It hadn't take much to get her feeding and to earn her trust, and she had competed with Peewee and Lottie for my attention.
So when I arrived at the barn I was really please to find her with a new daughter. Megan is part LLeyn, which is a welsh breed, with a very white fleece...... her daughter has a Texel father but has retained this long, course, brilliant white fleece.... Nigel has called her Snowy, a bit twee, but hey ho... and just like Lottie, she is really pleased with herself!
