A nosey lamb
Arable and sheep farmer Joe Brodie, from Northamptonshire, captured this photo of a cheeky lamb “being nosey” on the farm.
Joe has a flock of 170 sheep, and lambing has only just got underway. He expects the ewes will finish lambing “within the next three to four weeks”.
Bluefaced ewe ‘growing like a mushroom’
Young farmer and agricultural student Caryl Davies, from Pembrokeshire, is pictured here with Barry, the Bluefaced Leicester-cross Suffolk ram lamb, who she says is “growing like a mushroom”.
“He is the ram from the first Bluefaced ewe that I bought,” Caryl explains. “He’s absolutely massive, and we’re going to keep him as a ram hopefully,” she says.
Lambing has just started for the 800 ewes on the farm, and Caryl expects they will finish by the end of March, right before her family move on to calving.
