We had lovely weather at the weekend, but cold again yesterday. The grass is starting to grow and the lambs are thriving. The yearling ewes we had sheared about three weeks ago have gone outside and are literally jumping for joy! Injecting with Heptavac is the next job on our ever growing "to do" list. Hopefully, thats tonights job.
I have just been wondering when Spring is going to arrive here! Today is awful, howling gale, driving rain and bitterly cold - my poor little lambs!? I have entered the Royal Highland Show as usual and also Three Counties Show for the first time. It is the Ryeland Flock Book Society National Show and I wanted to exhibit there at least once. It is going to be a busy couple of days at Malvern as there is showing on two days. The Ryeland classes are on the Saturday and then there are also Ryeland classes on the Sunday which is Rare Breed day.
