Sadly this morning one of Dave's 3 ewes had a dead single and yesterday his ewe that had a lovely double rejected one in the field, so she is back in the shed and in the lambing stocks for a day or so to encourrage her to bond with both her lambs again. The up side is, that Tommy the lamb rejected yesterday by his own mum, now has a new mum that loves him to bits with his new coat on borrowed from her own lamb!!
Dave by the way is our Dartmoor Moorskills trainee who has just completed his training and started to work for us full time. Daves dad has a field and allowed Dave to have 3 sheep to eat the grass. These are lambing at Greenwell as it is easier to keep an eye on them. Third time lucky maybe.
