Who'd Be a Boy?

I'm feeling a bit guilty about breeding little boy lambies after yesterday. Our sheep shearer came round and blitzed them with the rubber rings, and they went into shock, laying down with closed eyes and legs in the air.

I was warned, and didn't watch, but had to check them later. Poor little boys........

They're up again this morning, maybe not kicking up their heels, but life has begun anew, so I can relax. Half an hour and the girls were crutched and drenched. Weeksie had a 'gorgeous' trim around the eyes so she can see again. and all lambs had tails ringed and their 5 in one shots as well. They were pronounced very fat and healthy, and mums had plenty of milk, so we must be doing something right.

The little twin girls seemed oblivious to all the drama. Tails can't hurt as much as undercarriage.

I can't help myself.....
