Lambs, heifers, visitors, Pony Club and broken arms

We have had a busy week. 

This week saw the start of our pre-weaning lamb drenching regime, with the start of weaning and planned for 10 days time.  The focus last week was on our terminal lambs (Suffolk rams to our B flock ewes).

Some of the first pick lambs hopefully!

We have sent away the first of our heifers to the works
 getting 227 kg CW/hd average.  In the last fortnight,
 the heifers had been doing 2kg+/hd/day.
