    One of the Lambs died yesterday, it's Mum was bleating her head off :sad:

    Sis said she thought the farmer had taken it away, but I saw the crows in the field, it was still in the long grass.

    Got rid of it (not pretty sight :sad:) and talked to Mum for a bit. At least she's on her feet and eating now.

          Oh, that's so sad. Nature can be so beautiful, but also heartbreaking too. :sad:

            You want to hear the noise when the lambs are taken off to market and away from their mums !

            We have sheep in the field right opposite where we live and some of the lambs were taken last week. Its a pitiful noise and no mistake !

              Aww Zigs, made me think this .... As a meat eater.
              As a parent this tugged at the heartstrings.
