BFL Ewe with busy times ahead!!


This ewe has been carefully watched for some time now as she was scanned to have 4 lambs. Its a Blue Faced Leicester Ewe that has lived here for some time, these are her 6th crop of lambs but never yet has she produced a tup (male) lamb so that the bloodline can continue.
I was beginning to worry that she would lamb when I was here on my own and that something would go wrong!!.
However at teatime today she didn't dissapoint and safely delivered 4 big healthy lambs, 3 of which are male!! She looks a lot more comfortable now!
