Due to youthful inexperience have only 3 January lambs by him, all April ewes in lamb to him though. One of the heavy ewe lambs by him, best ram & ewe lamb in pic with ewe by ram lost end of last year & rest by 3 year old ram bought in north as a lamb with an other flock but they've dispersed

Only put the ewes into this field and they were looking to go again.:rolleyes:

Put up the creep gate this morning and there was twenty of them gone through by evening. Only thought 5 or 6 would go through as usually they are a lot slower to go through
