The ewes having twins are out in the field as they are most likely to lamb without complication. Chris keeps a close eye on them and once they have lambed he collects them up in this special trailer and brings them into the shed. We keep them in for 24-48 hours to ensure they have fed and continue to feed well, that they have 'mothered up' properly otherwise you get lots of 'aunties' when they go back out. The lambs are checked over, iodine on the umbilical stump to reduce infection, ring the tails so they don't have long tails (reduces risk of fly strike and maggots in the summer,) tag the ewe, spray the lambs and ewe with the number that they came in the lambing order and pop them back out, hopefully into the sunshine! These lambs are particularly noisy so will probably get released in the morning 😅
