In three weeks time the ewes will start having baby lambs.
Before that happens there are a few jobs that must be carried out.
It is time for all the ewes to visit the sheep barber, at the shearing shed.
The shearers work hard, they must drag every ewe out onto the shearing board and trim the wool from their eyes, udder and bottom!
Dad gives all the ewes a needle. The needle helps protect both the ewe and the baby lamb growing inside from nasty diseases.
The ewes are now prepared to have their baby lambs. They are put back in their paddocks. Now the waiting game begins.
My big sister KT and I have been exploring in the timber whilst Mum and Dad have been working.We cannot wait for the baby lambs to arrive.....we LOVE baby lambs!
Do these Ewes need to go and visit Pete The Sheep? Looks like hard work to me :-)
