Rotational Grazing

31/05/2020

Our focus now is on improving the grass on the farm. Even before this lack of rain some of the fields were in a sorry state. With such a wet winter there was a lot of poaching, extremely patchy growth and lots of nettles, docks and other weeds. With this in mind we...

Breakfast bar at Treathro!! All 3 orphan triplets doing well at the moment. Fingers crossed all the other lambs doing well too. Lambing been a bit of a roller coaster so far but that sun is still shining which helps somehow.....#lambing #bottlefedlamb #Pembrokeshire #coastalpath #pasturefed #pastureforlife #sustainable #farmstay #holidaylet #petfriendly. www.treathro.com

Sadly one of our ewes had to be put down this morning, leaving 3 new born strong healthy lambs (so far). Under the heat lamp for a while and tube fed first lot of colostrum. Our work is cut out bottle feeding for a while......Let's hope this year's lambing gets a little easier. So far out of 4 ewes only one birth has been straight forward.#lambing #newborn #heatlamp #orphanlambs #bottlefeeding #Pembrokeshire #coastalpath #pastureforlife #pasturefed #sustainable #farmstay #holidaylet #petfriendly

Maggie got distracted by a mole hill whilst we were checking electric fencing. She was completely unaware of the interest she was causing!! Got a bit of a shock when she noticed.....ran a mile chased by the 70 sheep. Was laughing so much didn't get a photo! #workingcocker #sheep #Pembrokeshire #farmstay #sustainable #pastureforlife #pasturefed #holidaylet #petfriendly

Our first lamb of the season, one of twins born to a nearly blind ewe. She has had a tough couple of weeks having had her eyes pecked by a seagull whilst stuck on her back, nature is so cruel sometimes. She is such a wonderful mum, it lightens the heart to see her doing so well with her lambs....#lleyn #lambs #newborn #Pembrokeshire #coastalpath #sustainable #pastureforlife #pasturefed #holidaylet #farmstay #petfriendly

The two hard boys Trev and Kev!! Trevor (on the right) is our original Texel ram we put with our Lleyn ewes to produce good sized strong lambs to go to market. Kev is our new addition - a Lleyn ram which will allow us to breed our own pedigree replacements. We were wary of putting them together but Trev is definitely the boss and Kev is just too good natured to fight. Trev does seem slightly confused about his sexuality though, much to Kev's horror! #Texel #lleyn #ramstogether #Pembrokeshire #coastalpath #pasturefed #farmstay #petfriendly

Pregnant with twins and getting larger by the day. A rather lovely head and shoulder shot taken yesterday in that wonderful sunshine! #lleyn #ewe #twins #pembrokeshire #coast #coastalpath #pasturefed #sustainable #farmstay #petfriendly
