| The flock consisted of 20 rams, 44 ewes, and 43 lambs, of which 21 were female and the remaining were castrated males. |
| They seem quite happy to either accept stock joisted in for the season or contract rear the lambs for breeders. |
| Sheep are in these fields and, unfortunately, last week one aborted with the loss of two lambs. |
| The lambs in the paddock are constantly bleating at the moment, mainly for food but also for attention as we humans are their mums. |
| Animal carcass weights also indicate advances, with the increase in size of lambs and calves the best indicators of productivity improvements. |
| When the Riabhog days are done, the temperature rises, the lambs are yeaned under the hawthorn trees. |
