Also thanks for putting the extra time in, documenting it all in your photos and blog posts.<br /><br />Wish I wasn't away on the edge of NY State, if I lived close by, would love to stop in and be a lambing assistant - helped out on a sheep farm in Shropshire, UK for several years at lambing time, just to get hands on experience, before we moved to the USA. Even doing the rounds with the hay and water seems like a neverending circuit, get to the end and it's time to start again - let alone tending to the medical needs of the newborns and the ewes.<br /><br />So sorry to read about moldy hay, especially as you had been saving it for when it was really needed - thank goodness you had some of the other batch left. Maybe you can swap the moldy stuff for non moldy with a cattle farmer if the cows don't mind it! <br /><br />Look forward to warmer months down the line, watching all the lambs grow, get outside on green grass, and seeing you rewarded with so many lovely fleeces to work with.English sheep galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490632499588633341noreply@blogger.com
