Lambing 2013...

Spring is in the air all be it only just and it is lambing time again. We use contraceptive sponges to deliberately control the period during which our lambs are born. Sponging involves a progesterone sponge sitting against the cervix for two weeks. After two weeks it is removed and the ram is able to serve the ewes. in Theory approximately 147 days later they should give birth...

With 30 ewes including 12 first time Mum's this year is keeping us fairly busy...

The lambs have been well received, cuddled to their very limit and of course will be raised to show students the entire food chain from 'Field to Fork'...
