Two weeks ago, one of Ben C’s sheep had three lambs. Mum couldn’t produce enough milk for them all, so Sandra C took two of the lambs into her care. A disused kitchen cupboard was filled with straw and the lambs took up residence in the kitchen. An intensive programme of feeding began. In the beginning, Sandra and Ben fed the lambs every two hours day and night.
Two weeks later, both lambs are doing well…and the feeding is down to just (!) four times a day.
Luckily, Jasper the family dog has been very tolerant and can be found playing with the gambolling sisters.
In another month, these lambs will be ready to leave the house and head for the fields. In the meantime, we think we’d be hard pressed to find two cuter household animals in all of Parwich!






4 times a day – maybe I should have had sheep not children. Sam managed every hour last night.
