We will soon have two lambs at our place. At the moment they are being bottle fed four times a day at their first foster home; they’ll come to us in a couple of weeks when they’re down to only one or two bottle feeds a day and have started to eat grass.\u00a0 I have cut the grass in our cattle race so that it will be short and sweet for them when they arrive, and they will have a comparatively small space to occupy while they get used to us and a new home.<\/p>\n

\"Michael-van-der-Lamzen\"<\/a>This is Michael Van de Lambzen – named after the Food Truck chef, Michael Van de Elzen.<\/p>\n

\"Annabelle-Lambein\"<\/a>And this is our very first ewe lamb – named Annabel Lambein after the lovely host of the Free Range Cook TV show.<\/p>\n

Aren’t they the cutest? If I hadn’t made the decision to become a vegetarian 18 months ago, seeing these two would have tipped me over the edge. Although I have no problem with other people eating meat, I just know I can’t eat it any more.<\/p>\n

\"Michael-finishes-a-bottle\"<\/a>I had never bottle-fed a lamb, and loved the experience of feeding wee Michael. He and Annabel were just a week old when I took these pictures and had the joy of feeding them. I am looking forward to their coming to live here, with a bit of apprehension thrown in, never having had to manage such young stock before. I’ll post again when they are here, and you can see how we get on.<\/p>\n
