Ewes and lambs grazing in the long grass of the orchard field.#Defaidodon #soay

Sold three of last year’s soay ewe lambs to lovely people who keep sheep in mid Wales. The ewe lambs have been with their mothers since birth and have been part of the flock during the arrival of this year’s lambs. After they had gone off in the trailer one of the mothers, who has new lambs of her own, was calling for several hours, I think, for her last year’s lamb. The family bonds are very strong in this primitive breed it seems. #Defaidodon #soay

It’s nearly bedtime #Defaidodon #soay

The first of the piebald #soay has given birth to a ram that is neither piebald nor brownie. Imma call it a Sierra Soay.

I think the ewe on the right might lamb today - she usually has twins. And the only lamb so far with her mum is doing well #Defaidodon #soay

The sunshine is perfect for these girls #Defaidodon #soay

Still no lambs but some very large ewes now and a bunch of curious yearlings #Defaidodon #soay
