Hello all

We have arranged a lambing day on the 20th Jan on the Blackdown hills which is on the Devon/ Somerset border.
The day will run from 10 - 4 and will include:
Care of in lamb and just lambed ewes
Care of newborn lambs - tailing, castration, etc
Care of orphan/cade lambs including fostering
Ongoing management of lambs to weaning

There are 10 places available and cost is ï¿½35 per person
The farm is Beech Hayes Farm (home of the famous Blackdown Bangers and burgers!) run by Nick and Ruth Strange who have a mixed holding including a 150 ewe flock of early lambing ewes.

Best wishes
Val
