I told her about the lambs and we remembered her visits to The Gables when we would carry a lamb to her so that she could have a cuddle. When I got home I changed into my work clothes and then it was out to the sheep barn

While I was with mum Jeremy made up a bottle of colostrum to ensure that the lambs get the best possible start. Perky is “getting on” a bit and we may have to give the lambs some supplementary feeding if mother Perky doesn’t produce enough milk for two.
