Hi, everyone, particularly novices, I intended to give lambing advice last year, but due to moving house, did not find time to write, so as April is fast...
... So lambing season is upon us, or nearly so. I can't find the email from the nice person in Fern Prairie who invited me over to see the babies. Would you...
Sarah's guide to lambing is excellent, but I have to add a caveat. Think why you are having to do it. I think it is very important that Soays retain their...

Thelma, I take your point, but the only difference between the small lambs which survive and those that don't is the temperature on the day or night on which...
Jo, Thanks for the advice about llamas. Is one llama happy on its own with a flock of sheep, or does it need company of its own kind? And what sort of price do...
Sue Our Llama is a young entire male, but we are getting him a 'wife' next week. He has been very happy on his own for the past 9 months, but I think spring is...
