Lilly, Lucky and Tom

 


Despite living in suburbia now, we have three little lambs in the garden. It seems you can take the man from the farm, but he remains a farmer! Jack rescued them and is bottle feeding them. I don't know if they'll all survive, we'll have to see how it goes. The farmer had assumed they would die, so if Jack can save even one of them, that's a bonus.

  2. I think Dave would rescue lambs if he were at home. Living on the highway would be too dangerous for them without his loving supervision. I hope Jack's lambs do well!

  4. Hope to survive. Incidentally, I have seen the Dorper live. A few of them were imported to Finland 7 years ago. New race here. 😊

    1. Oh that’s very interesting! Such different conditions, I wonder how they do there.

    2. In winter they are in a warm sheepfold and eat silage. It is a good crossbreed in meat production with our sheep.

    3. Ok, I’m sure you must get good hybrid vigour with a breed from far away.

  5. And the farmer's wife immortalises them in her modern classic doily!!!
    Keep us posted - hoping they all survive.
