We started lambing about three weeks ago and the Border Leicesters are about three quarters done. Plenty of twins and some triplets will make for a busy lamb marking day next week. We expect to have over 125 lambs to mark so it has been a good season. Purple tags this year, green last and orange the year before - I'll post the sequence at a later date.
The Merinos started early last week and so by end September we can mark the first cross lambs. Don't have a photo (yet) but there is one lamb with a black saddle - very unusual and very cute!
