We are very happy to announce that lambing season has finished and everything went off without a hitch. The ewes are now proud mothers to 12 new lambs and for the first time ever, all the lambs born were white! They will soon be out in the pasture running around and playing but for now they are under the watchful eye of the chickens, roosters and Mom.
