March - in like a lion out like a lamb?? #bringbackspring

Good morning world 🐮😎

Lambing in full swing at Southfield. Good weather, correct body condition and years of selective breeding making this busy period enjoyable. Still plenty of time for things to go wrong though, 🤞

Lambing easing off at Southfield with less than a quarter of the nucleus ewes left to lamb. Grateful for the good weather over the past fortnight. This Abertex gimmer making marking lambs to their week of birth easy for Hamish. Lambing unassisted and mothered up 👍 #selection

Nucleus ewes scanned at Southfield this week. Happy with the overall result of 181% 👍 Ewes holding condition well despite working hard on the hill block behind electric fences. Deferred grass used up so singles back up on silage while the twins/trips head onto swedes for 5 wks.

A good dash of Armadale bloodlines being recorded with Innovis Ltd Our cast ewes last year made the trip south, as well as three tups over the past few years. Good to hear the feedback on their performance - good and bad.

In Scotland, the pilot will be a collaboration between AHDB and QMS. Find out more here: ahdb.org.uk/news/levy-fund…

My happy place - watching cows getting into another break on top of the hill.
