Earlier today whilst cleaning upstairs I looked out of the window and saw 4 lambs in the garden. Th ere may have been more hiding behind bushes. They seemed happy munching away and as it was raining I decided to leave them there. Farmer was out with cattle lorry and not due back so no point in ringing him.
Isn't it the wrong time of the year for lambs?
btw they are lambs not sheep. I do know the difference.

Ping!

From the website of the National Sheep Association:
"March and April are peak lambing time in the UK, although the main season runs from February to April and some farmers even lamb before Christmas."

Yeah does seem very early, usually early spring time ( in my neck of the woods ), maybe it's summat to do with that Cornish climate, lj.

Illegal lambs coming over from New Zealand on the boat thinking the weather is probably better here.

lol @ barsel. Farmer has had lights on in the lambing shed for quite a while now and their baas have a distinct local accent.

Barsel

Tony, scary? The thought of the lambs standing up in the lambing shed doing the Haka really appeals to my sense of humour.
