At the Farm

Yesterday we visited my sister and her family at their farm.  After a wonderful lunch it was time to see a few of the new arrivals.

First stop was some of the lambs needing supplementary feeding..

My elder niece is a competent and confident young farmer - and indeed co-owner with her sister and cousins of a large flock of sheep and lambs.  She was patient with her less than competent aunty!

Next stop, feeding the calves..

They are just babies and once they have had their milk, all they really want to do is nibble and suckle on any available fingers..

Then out to the fields to check on the wellbeing of the sheep and their lambs..

The lambs seemed to be doing just fine and enjoying the sunshine..

The ewes were more interested in their supplementary feed of potatoes.

Last word goes to this little lamb who had a lot to say for himself!
