Lambing | QUAAAAD!

In this video we start by help a ewe with her two lambs, making sure they've both had a wee sook of colostrum and leaving them in a pen for a short while. Next, Finlay and Ruari find Patch with one lamb born. After some time, the decision is made to help her with the other three lambs and take her in to put in a pen. Later, Ruari and Sue pick up a ewe from the singles park and bring her in the lamb her. Unfortunately, the lamb inside her is dead. We pull out the lamb and get an adopted lamb onto her. Ruari gives an update on Patch and her four lambs and then Ruari and Sue put out 3 adoptions, followed by Ruari and Rosie putting out 3 sets of twins that had been in Rosie's pens. Next, Rosie and Ruari push 3 sets of twins into a catching pen to dock tails and testicles, as well as mark each set of twins. Later that day, Ruari and Finlay are doing the evening run and find a ewe that needs lambing. After a small chase they catch her, lamb her and put her in a pen as she is a first time mum so could be a bit flighty. Jumping forward by a month or so, we bring in the lambs and ewes to dock lambs testicles and tails that might have been missed during lambing. This involves bringing them in, going through the sheep and then putting them back down onto new grazing.
