2 groups of home educated children came to the farm to visit our lambs this week. The children measured out the water and milk powder to make up the bottles. The lambs were very friendly and allowed the children to feed them without any problems. Apparently, the biggest thrill for the children was carrying the lambs to the garden. The lambs have grown such a lot in the last week; they now weigh around 6kg - quite heavy for a 6 or 7 year old. However, they were determined and all the lambs arrived in the garden safely and back again. There is nothing quite so heart warming and a group of lambs frisking around an open space. Forever inquisitive, they were nibbling at new textures around the trees and grass. The children loved running around with them too. After a picnic lunch, the children then weighed out more milk to put in the shepherdess. Some children sat in the tractor - in fact, it was quite difficult to get one of them to leave it! 2 enjoyable days.
