This ram lamb arrived on Saturday afternoon (5th Sept) weighing about 5.5kg.
Mum was a well-grown, August-born single, born last year to my then-6yr-old ewe... I've never had a hogget lamb this early in spring, but she is probably a similar age to what some other hoggets have been when they have lambed!
I think this is my last lamb for this season, as (as I expected) I don't think the other ewe hogget is in lamb. She was Oct-born & out of a hogget mum, shows no signs of being in lamb, and I can't feel a lamb - which I should by now if she was in-lamb, as the latest possible "due" date (based on when my last ram left me) is only 3 1/2wks away.
