Good evening to everyone.

It is just gone half past five in the afternoon. It has been dark for a while and the curtains drawn. The farm is quiet. The day is done. Although it began at 4 this morning. A few of us will stay up all night. Lambs are being born. The ewes are in the shed but it usually just needs one or two to be up. My job is cooking so I have to be up too. Some births are easy but like with people, not always. And it is cold in the sheds. 2 degrees right now. So hot food is what I do! I long ago gave up helping with farm work! I’m an art student! But I know how to cook.

Isn’t it early for lambs to be giving birth?

No. It’s January. Lambing will go on from now to February. You won’t see the lambs out in the fields yet. They need to be stronger. @MrAboo

@LilirWyddfa I see, I just thought it would take fresh greens for the lambs to produce enough milk in the second ring time

Fresh greens don’t appear until I don’t know whether. @MrAboo

@LilirWyddfa I’ve heard at croi fur sheep will use their feet to scrape the snow and eat the grass underneath and don’t need hay in winter just fresh pasture from Greg Judy

@MrAboo They are not allowed out until they are strong.
