First of the Spring lambs. These do look a week or so old. Near to Great Busby. Lambing is planned so that the best price is obtained when the lambs are eventually sold as a glut of lambs coming to market at the same time will mean a lower price. Some farmers in the south lamb before Christmas, but of course, too early is risking a bad spell. It will be another five weeks until some upland moor flocks begin to lamb. The Lamb a poem by William Blake 1757-1827 Little Lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o’er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice! Little Lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? From my photo-diary http://www.fhithich.uk/?p=20857
