You can tell by the ground everything is very wet. The lambs don't skip and jump like they do when the sun shines. Mind you neither do we Ha ha. Again shows up better on black.
@gq The purple are numbers and letters that identify which lambs belong to which sheep. The twins are marked with numbers and the single lambs with letters. That way if something is wrong with a lamb ie. it is not getting enough milk we can catch the appropriate sheep and see if there is a problem. The green and orange marks are from when they were scanned to see how many lambs they were going to have. This allows us to feed them accordingly before they lamb.
Beautiful place to have your sheep up there, must be wonderful in the sun & dry. It will be costing you feeding because of this wet. Let's hope it dries up & you get a good flush of grass.
@hermann@annepann@ellida@happypat@peterlgrave@pusspup@snowy@leananiemand Just catching up with my thank you's for the lovely comments you kind people leave on my projects. I had not realised you had put this picture on the PP so thank you very much. Peter I think the scanning helps a lot. We can feed the sheep accordingly to what they have in them. If they have a single lamb we will not feed it quite as hard as we would one with three. This is so they don't grow the lambs too big and have a difficult birth. The threes need rather more because having more lambs in them the lambs take a lot more out of the sheep there for she may not have enough milk when they are born, also the lambs may well be too small to survive.
