All 50x counted. They were settled and seemed content this morning - no concerns.
Most were lying down, so I gently approached them to watch as they moved. One of the smaller lambs was limping on its front left - I think the ear tag was #94, but it was hard to read from a distance (beige text on brown tags this year). Pic below - not helpful! I'm not concerned, so didn't ring it through. Last year we had lots of limpers when they first came onto the meadows, but the grazing team couldn't find a cause. We eventually decided that woody plants in the meadow mix were irritating their feet. I'll check on it again tomorrow.
Lovely to have them back.
