Our house paddock resident, dubbed Sooty, produced two lambs this year. On the day they escaped, we rounded up all but Sooty who sank exhausted into a mound of long grass on the roadside and could not be budged. He ambled home by himself some hours later!

Actually, we have a very ‘active’ mob of Dorper sheep next door who do pop babies out rather regulary, especially given old Archie (yes, all male that one) is obvioulsy old but not out!!!
