Eco holiday In Brecon Beacon 3 - Lambing by Chris and Liza
Some of these videos may cause inconvenience to some people. I am sorry about that. When we went to a vacation in Wales is the time usually lambing in farms were happening. So farmers often lie awake at night, to help the ewe to deliver the calf. Chris invited us to witness the lambing and we eagerly accepted the invitation. We have never seen that. .
On the one hand, this is important. If my daughters want to study veterinary science they must have work experience in a farm. I asked Lisa whether they accept students who want the work experience in a farm. Liza said she would. But my daughters thinking was different. They think farm life is difficult . Chris was working three in the morning, three lambs were born early morning.They have three children, Lisa and Chris work very hard. I told the children veterinary work is not that hard and they don't need always in farms. But they are not impressed even though they like the animals and farm itself.

In these videos below you can see how Chris help ewe to deliver the calf. Afterwards he would apply the iodine to the wounds and inject the antibiotics to the calf.
Helping the Ewe
This is not really an easy task. All over the month there will be several births per day.

Mating season of the sheppes usually starts in Autumn / winter time. gestation time is about 6 months. So farmers usually know by the Easter ewes are ready give birth to the lambs. In April grasses start to grow. Grass is the main food source for the sheep. The young lamb are sold for meat whne they are around 8 to 9 months. A Sheep's life span is 10 to 12 years.
