We are days away from lambing, and after all the cold weather we dont have any grass. When the snow melted, it exposed what little grass we had, and what their is, is almost dead, and needing some heat about it to make it grow. This is a concern, as once the sheep have lambed, we put them outside into the fields, and if their is no grass in the fields, their is no food for the sheep. So we needed to look for a cost effective way to feed the sheep while the grass tries to grow! Turnips were the answer, and this morning an artic load were delivered, all ready to be munched on!! It takes the sheep a few days to get used to the taste, but once sampled a few times, they love them.
A lot of turnips.....I think Duncan forgot how much an artic could hold!!! But at least we'll have happy sheep!!
