Out of 12 lambs 9 ewes 3 rams !! If anyone fancies a castrated boy later on in the year let me know ! Great for keeping the grass down Back to top milkmaid Joined: 19 Apr 2005 Posts: 6740 Location: isle of lewis Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 5:53 pm    Post subject: ooohhh my oh says you've got to call one of them bandit and oh how cute Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 14063 Location: Hampshire Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 6:41 pm    Post subject: Lovely!
