more twins.....

7 of our 16 ewes have now lambed - all but one has been twins so far! The girls are winning 9 to 4 boys.

It's a hard life

Enjoying the sun



The alpacas are fascinated by the new arrivals

    Yes, they are Hebridean sheep.... ours are 2 horned however we used a 4 horned ram from Scalpay Linen in Harris so have a mix of 2 and 4 horned lambs. There must be something in the grass down in Harris because of the 15 lambs born so far 11 are girls.

    I think its more likely to be the grass up in Galson - all the boys are in Scalpay!
