There are still no lambs to be seen in the fields. Yesterday we did a full patrol of the farm’s many fields around our house, and there was not a single lamb outside. There were many large-bellied floofy ladies looking ready to have some lambs, but no visible babies apart from some very new wee calves over amongst the cows. It’s been rainy lately – the fields were a festival of mud – and there are nights below freezing forecast this week, so maybe all the lambs are in the barn? The farmers are ridiculously busy this time of year, so I can’t very well go down there & demand to be shown the barn residents. We shall just have to keep waiting. -- source link
