Lambs, Gizmo & Land!!!!!

We needed to worm the lambs today, it's been a while since I was up close and personal with them and boy have they grown.

They have nearly all lost their markings so telling one from another is getting harder but not totally impossible.

The thing that really touched me was that the one lamb I had named who used to give me lamb kisses while I feed other, still remembered me. My Gizmo even came when I called him.

I went into a different paddock and when I returned he came walking over to me and stood there getting fuss from me.

I thought I'd have been forgotten as it has been months since I last saw them up close, but the bond is still there....

The good news is he is our lamb; we will have him when the time is right, it may sound silly but I'm glad we will get to eat him.

I really think I could get used to a life of raising my own animals for food, just a shame we don't have enough land to do it. Town living isn't something that agrees with raising your own livestock....

Having said that the chickens are on the way; or will be as soon as we have the area ready for them. Home laid free range eggs, I can't wait...
