A busy day today with 3 more lambs, & moving ewes & lambs to post-natal field with more grass
but no resolution to the mystery of Hettie
Lovely ewe, 5 years old, always had single lambs
But...... what do you think is in there? (scanned as a single) pic.twitter.com/6csqU6Bubu

So day after daughter leaves Orkney, Hannah (her ewe) finally has her lamb! She's an experienced & good mum - standing nicely but still licking lamb dry while her ?daughter hunts for the teat... pic.twitter.com/2LsSkpBtjh
After a couple of days looking at contended pregnant ewes lounging around.... young Akari produced her 1st lamb 7am today. All looking well although I haven't been able to get close enough to see what sex it is
Akari was bred by Nathan in Stronsay & has the ultrafine fleece pic.twitter.com/eIEaG9BvQs
Earlier this year Orkney came within a whisker of serious food insecurity in our hospital, schools & care homes plus general households. If we don't get an abattoir asap we'll need huge freezers to stockpile meat for when ferries cancelled several days at a time in winter storms https://t.co/wv5A7yB8hr
