Former pet lambs Rosie, Ruby and Cookie hang out near the house when they're in the house paddock here at Struan Farm. They know there's a good chance that I'll see them and bring out apple treats for everyone to munch on. Cookie is a late adopter, it might be related to a pregnancy craving, I'm not sure.
But I have to bring enough to feed everyone at the same time, since Ruby gets quite aggressive about pushing the others out of the way. And she's so big that that's quite a threat, even with me telling her to behave herself.
They're all visibly pregnant and ready to drop their second year of lambs. It's very exciting for me to watch them as mums, having been theirs.
Are there such things as "grandlambs?" We'll say yes.
