Once we are satisfied that the ewe and the lambs are healthy, they are turned out firstly to a paddock for observation, and then into the field for grazing, and peace from interfering humans!











The scenery around the farm was idyllic, and this picture of the hills in the background doesn't really do it justice. The nearest neighbours were a good drive away, and the road was only wide enough for one car at a time. The wildlife in the area was abundant, with buzzards and red kites often flying overhead. I was lucky with the weather and during both seasons the sun was almost always out, and I avoided the famed Welsh rain!



This is a ewe wearing a prolapse harness that I had just fitted to her. It is relatively common for ewes to prolapse prior to lambing (and occasionally after lambing, which is far more serious). The harness is a fairly new product that is easy to apply and comfortable for the animal. We put so many on this year that we ran out!
