On wednesday morning we awoke to find that penny had lambed(2 ram lambs and 1 ewe lamb) and all were well. As you can see by the picture Sharon gives them an early boost by tube feeding them with some colostrum. We tend to do this with most triplets and any weak lambs that are born as you are then assured that they are of to a good start. The ewe has plenty of milk and will be a very good mother. We sprayed their navels with iodine (stops infection) and gave them a squirt of kick start(full of all the vitamins they need). She has lambed a few days early for the 2012 showing season but the main thing is that all are well.    

We would like to wish all the jacob members and anyone who has visited our site a  merry christmas and a happy new year. We have had a very good year showing our jacobs and we look forward to next year and meeting many new members. Balmoral,Omagh,Clogher, Enniskillen and Gosford will all have individual Jacob classes this year and i will keep you informed of any other shows that are organised  Our sheep have just been brought in now as they are very close to lambing and we are hopeful that all goes well. We have only a few due now and the rest our due the last week in January. Thankfully the weather has not been to bad and it looks like it will be a pretty mild week. They have all been Heptavaced and fluke dosed recently as they are near lambing.
