Matilda our third Zwartble sheep had her lamb yesterday. Another ewe lamb, who is going to be called Tara, which makes all three lambs born so far ewes so our flock will be getting larger. The only one left now is Rosemary, the Texel cross, she is showing no signs at all and we suspect that she might not be in lamb but you never know as sheep are full of surprises.

Gizmo and Sweatpea are now 9 days old. Gizmo is the male and has a lot more white on him. He really struggled to drink when we picked him up and was quite weak. We tube fed him for the first day until he got the idea of sucking a teat on a bottle. Since then he hasn't looked back. They are both now very lively and are great fun to watch and play with.
