Good luck with the lambing! It look like your going to have to build a lambing shed before next year!!

All the best, Matthew.

Andrew, forgive me but I woke up this morning with this image in my head of your tale here and the story of the 3 pigs........

I like the bricks option.....  :palm:  :bang:

awemawson:
Thanks all for your thoughts.

It's currently a case of geography - things are in the wrong place! We're thinking of trying to create a sheltered place for the sheep closer to the barn for next year but it depends on a hedge we planted growing fast enough!  Some of you will remember the huge pile of earth I shifted a year or two back, with the 'gate to nowhere' left isolated - well it's been incorporated into a double fence line and planted with native species to give the sheep cover in the future, but it's really only just starting to grow - I doubt it'll be ready in time for next year. May need to invest in some windbreak fine netting and make a corner of the field their haven.

Still, looking on the bright side, Brian the Brickie turned up again today (Saturday) so the Pig Palace is progressing, and he'll be back Easter Monday to get a bit more done.  :thumbup:

awemawson:
So today brought Brian the Brickie back to the farm, and also a clutch of new lambs. The score so far is thirteen survivors and one still born. Only another twenty three to go  :bugeye:

Progress on the new Pig Palace is 'reasonable' - second pallet of bricks bumped out, so that's 1000 either laid or stacked in 'ready to lay' piles. He's returning Bank Holiday Monday, so hopefully I'll see a bit more progress then.

The visitors have started to arrive to see the new born lambs, which is nice but very time consuming. Oddly none of them accept the offer of working the night shift - can't understand for a minute why ever not  :lol:
