This made me smile the other day. 😊
If you watch carefully, you’ll spot a little badger-faced sheep happily leaping about — that’s Half Pint.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen her do this, and it feels quite special. Years ago, Half Pint was a very poorly lamb and, to be honest, we weren’t sure how things would turn out for her. Last year I bred from her for the first time and she had a little ewe lamb called Dinky. We had to top Dinky up with milk because Half Pint wasn’t producing enough herself.
Fast forward to this year, and Half Pint has produced a strong, healthy lamb all on her own. In fact, her lamb is doing so well that we can barely get near her!
Seeing Half Pint looking so fit, healthy and full of life that she’s skipping around the field really is a lovely feeling. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the hard work worthwhile. ❤️🐑
