Last Lamb
On 30 September there was a new lamb. I thought all the ewes had either had their lamb or lost their lamb/s. The mum was Rosie, one of the lambs from last year! (My neighbour tells me that it is 'okay' for sheep to mate with their father but not their grandfather.) This little lamb is a boy and so there are no worries of that happening. My neighbour, who sold me the ram, says Rambo only has one season left in him, so I am keeping him until maybe April or May next year and then selling him, probably for pet food or something (poor Rambo). Rambo has given me three good merino lambs from last year and two from this year, plus a few eating lambs as well.
