    2 left to lamb. Had one massive single last night. Ewe had no milk. Luckily had a bit stored from a single z few weeks ago. Fed him and left him til this morning. Checked camera at 6 am and saw another ewe was lambing but the lambing was hanging out. Drove over and lamb had smothered in bag. Fecking raging. Was a single too. Hate a ewe running barren for summer.,

    At least the other ewe came into milk and and the lamb is fine. Off to work for the day then.

    Lambing dragging out. Want it over now. Hard to mix work and lambing.

    Last ewe lambed this morning, crop not great but probably easiest lambing in a long while, 1.7lambs/ewe let out in the adult ewes. 1/ewe in the ewe lambs. only 3 joint ills and 1 ecoli , losses are 5% from scanning to being let out in the field
