LOL! It's a very beautiful part of the world, most of the time I think I'm very lucky to live here
Similar effect to Dreamies! They look like this, they're about the thickness of a thumb to give you some idea of scale. Just giving them a few handfuls between them at the moment to make sure they're in the best condition possible for the tup arriving, but come the end of March, when they're heavy in lamb, they can't physically fit enough grass into their stomachs to maintain condition, because the lamb(s) are squashing up against their digestive system, so that's when they start getting 250-500g a day each so they get enough calories to sustain themselves and their lambs. It's a tricky balancing act, if you overfeed them and they put too much fat on, they'll be in for a difficult lambing, but if they get too lean then they can get something called twin lamb disease and drop dead.
Not speaking to them tonight, because they'd wandered into the front field where the wrapped haylage bales for the horses are and nibbled their way into a few of them! Will have to lure them out again with a bucket tomorrow, shut the gate and then get the silage tape out and patch it all up.
