What can i say... I haven't slept more than 4 hours since March and thats not a complaint, just a fact of bringing 25 lambs into the world.
This year has been particularly tough on the sleep as I've had to help with bottle top up or feed a few lambs, BUT everyone stayed with their mum and family, I just joined it as the milk bar.
Today Bluebelle lambed for the last time and our last lambs this year. When i heard her low sweet rumbles I did feel incredibly sad, it's the end of an era, she was the first Babydoll I owned alongside Queen B... the reason I fell in love with the breed. She is just the most gentle, soulful character who loves being a mum. She's the glue of the flock, each morning she'd take a slow careful round up of everyone, nose bumping the whole flock, including me, checking everyone is ok. She gives a masterclass on lambing and how to protect and care for her lambs. She is, however, simply too old to safely lamb again, so I'll celebrate every moment I have with her this year and next year i promise to pamper her in her luxury retirement.

Our Babydoll blog...
So here’s some exciting news: Over the past year, I’ve received so many messages and requests for help or tips from other hobby sheep owners that I’ve realised there is a need for some basic and then not-so-basic guides to keeping pet sheep—from someone who also started from scratch.
The care calendar for a hobby shepherd and smallholder looks quite different from a commercial farmer. Over the years of keeping our Babydolls, I’ve built an extensive resource through the seasons, including flock care routines and practices. So If you’d like to see videos, how-to’s, what to watch out for, ask me anything channel of messaging and valuable pdf downloads of tried and tested pet sheep needs through the season's inc nutrition and lambing then simply join our mailing list below.... I’ll be in touch on launch day.
