Oh Dear..managed to get the disco stuck & made a pretty good job of it as well, thanks to # David at Gelmast farm for bringing along his tractor to haul me out & # Gareth Rowlands for his banter & laughter at my predicament :-)
Thank you both !

Update

After vaccinating the new lambs with heptavac and tagging them, the next day we moved the ewes & lambs back up to the land. I have to say it was a great sight seeing our first lambs running & bouncing around the land with mum's in close proximity I will post some photos shortly. 

Before taking them all up to the land # Gareth Rowlands kindly tailed the ewes for us, this I would say is a good idea especially as the ewes have been denied access to grass for some weeks now & returning to the land may have an adverse effect upon the digestive system. 

The plan now is to get in the Ram, Wether and yearling lambs as they require worming, feet trimming etc they are separate from each other at present on differing parcels of land.

Charlotte has moved the horses on to the back but is keen to move them again where the grass is now finally coming through, now that also means ensuring they have adequate access to water so more work for us again.... 

Must get the photos added soon & see if I can upload some video?
