Missy Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 You can eat suckling lambs. One good sunday roast they'll make stuffed with rosemary, garlic, thyme, thin slices of potatoes all around it, some water, lots of olive oil, salt and pepper, slow roast in your Godin and some other vegs from the garden and .... where's the invite!??As to your nursery : you need to make an enclosure about 6ft by 6ft and tall enough that lambs don't jump over! in your barn, it's sheltered away from wind and rain, or where Mummy sheep is sheltering. Good straw litter and lock mother and children in that. Just to try if she is going to take them back. She has to be closed and fenced in that she can't escape her responsability!... If not you will have to use that enclosure for the 2 babes and that will be their home until they get strong. Regular feeds during the day and nighty night. Then you can have some sleep! At about 1 month old they should be able to go out into the field with the others during the day. Just make sure there are NO HOLES in the fences. They are very cunning at finding a way out... and bye bye your sunday roast as Mr Fox will have it.....How did I ever get involved with sheep rearing ....

Pip Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I helped bottle feed the orphan lambs on my S-I-L's farm in Glos. I loved them to bits and named the three. The next time I went to stay and asked my SIL where the lambs were, she said 'in the freezer' ! I had fish for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 So did you go back to eating Lamb Pip?That's great info Missy, thanks alot! We'll give them a few more days to get stronger then I'll move them into the barn. Only problem is that they're not moving around much, I think they need more exercise so I'm going to put them on a lead and take them on walks so their muscles can build! I have a cunning plan, if you put the odd clove of garlic in the bottle and also infuse the milk with Rosemary then they'll be ready flavoured! My mouth is watering at the thought!

Chris Head Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 I'm not Mr popular at the mo, I thought I was being new man when I hoovered some poo up. The Dysons' cylinder thingy is a little discoloured at the mo and Sarahs language is a little ripe. I give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 So did you go back to eating Lamb Pip? asked ChrisUnless I'm a guest and my hosts serve up lamb (I try to be polite) I rarely touch it now, for two reasons. The first because of that incident and the second because it's so b a l l y expensive in 'ol Blighty !!Sara should be estatic - a man who knows where the hoover is kept ! But it would probably have been better to use it on the carpet [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 [quote user="Chris Head"] That's great info Missy, thanks alot! [/quote]Anytime. I gave up breeding sheep when I realised that there is one person more stoopid than the sheep : me!

[/quote]Move them NOW! if poss with Mother or in a pen next to her to the barn if you want some sleep! and an excuse for not using/ruining the Dyson as well as being ticked off the rota for poo duty! You put them on a lead and your neighbours will think that you are now batting for the other side!... Know what I mean Dolly.....
