Lambs, lambs and more lambs

Yes, here it is as I said earlier photos of some of the lambs.  They are all of texel lambs at the moment.  The first Ryeland lambed 2 days ago and they are still in the Lambing barn and will go out shortly.  I will take a photo then when they are looking their best running around and playing.  So far on Ryelands - 2 ewes lambed and we have 3 lambs - 2 boys and 1 girl and Nimrod is the dad.

The next big batch will be the Ryelands when they will be lambing over the weekend 11 and 12 February, however as with mother nature they will only arrive then they are ready, however you have to be prepared.  Steve still has some dates available for lambing courses, so get in touch.

Oakberrow Wotzinaname ShCM

Great news - Foster has been awarded his Show Certificate of Merit and can have ShCM after his name.  Even better is that the lad has done this since October attending the Open shows and his number of Best of Breeds, Group Placings have very quickly added up to the 25 points required.  I am very proud of him.  As you can see from the photos he is proud as well.

Today sees the end of the shooting season and the dogs will miss their days out.  Foster will not be able to attend Crufts, as a docked dog he cannot enter so will be a 'dock and denied' dog.  Seems stupid really as he has a life qualification for Crufts, even more is that he would not even be able to enter the Gamekeepers classes at Crufts.  Anyway that is the law at the moment.
