Lambing course – Ruth will be running a lambing course on 8^th December, aimed at people new to lambing and sheep keeping but also a refresher for the more experienced. We’ll cover preparation for lambing, dealing with weak lambs, and problems you may encounter as well as giving you a chance to practice assisting a ewe with a difficult lambing. If you’re interested please call the practice to book a place or speak to Ruth if you have any questions.  Cost £50 per person.
