Lambs are just about 5
weeks old now – time is flying by – and they’ve been happily munching on grass
in between bottle feeds. Over the last couple of days if we hadn’t done the
middle 3pm feed they probably wouldn’t have noticed (provided we avoided going
out to see them!) so a move to 2 feeds is imminent. Yesterday we introduced
them to the wide open space that will be their permanent enclosure during the
daytime. Tonight is their first sleep-out so now
the temporary knitted fence can come down and the barn corner cleaned out.

| Exploring the new enclosure... very slowly and carefully |
They
seem big enough now to be safe from predators and they have a 3-sided shelter
facing away from the prevailing wind (and the rain that’s forecast). From
under my duvet I watched them settling down for the night on SheepCam :)
