There was much excitement on the Farm on Monday as it was revealed that all eight of our ewes are pregnant, and seven of them are carrying twins.
Our sheep scanner Malcolm’s visit was incorporated in an impromptu way into the Y10 Animal Care practical lesson. A small number of Animal Care students were able to observe the scanning and marking of the ewes to determine whether they were pregnant with singles, twins or triplets.
I’m pleased to say it appears all 8 ewes are pregnant, with 7 expecting twins and one expecting a single lamb. The ewes are now marked with spray paint accordingly, with blue for two and red for one.
