They're fine looking fields... And stone walls... They look fine and dry - are they?

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

The pics won't open/load!!

Lovely grass, and nice healthy looking sheep .

A few of the beltex lambs off the ewe lambs. Their all a little under a month old now


In the corner is one of the field old Suffolk mountain cross ewes doing some photo bombing

How did you find the Beltex, much lambing issues with them?

Found them fine. Had 1 c.section due to schmallemberg, 1 came backwards and 2 others had to be assisted. Other that there was no issues. Their hardy little fellas

Putting a few bunches through the footbath today, they flew in with their mothers, using zinc
