The first ewe lambed outside as it wasn't quite ready and she was early, but by the end of March we had a weather proof barn and the ewes moved in for lambing....
It wasn't totally finished and we have done bits and pieces over the year but with lambing time rapidly approaching again, we are trying to get things a bit further on. However, the weather is hampering the work somewhat. The ground is so waterlogged that we can't get any vehicles near the barn and the inside is something of a quagmire. The problem is that the sun and wind dry the field around the barn, but they don't have any effect inside. Anyway, today I finished digging some foundations to put in a concrete door sill and hopefully have proper doors on by lambing time! You can see the quagmire inside and out, and the trench slowly filling with water...
