Well, it's been a pretty crazy time of lambing at Hill Giant Farm lately. So busy, we haven't had time to update. We've had a number of deaths on the farm as a result of pneumonia and the cold, damp weather. However, we've also had some real success stories too. On Sunday April 22, we had 15 lambs born between 1:00 and 11:00 p.m. It was a baby boom to say the least! Two of our favourite lambs at the moment are Daisy and Petunia our bottle babies. We feed them both 4 times a day and they are growing to be big and strong. On Thursday, Daisy and Petunia went on a fabulous road trip to M's work. Below are some photos of the journey for you to enjoy.

All bundled up in the car. What's with all that rain? |

Petunia making friends. They were wildly popular with all of M's coworkers and with the various people who came into her work on Thursday. |

Taking a ride on the chair cart. Shortly after this photo, Petunia jumped out of their bucket. Daisy knows a good thing when she sees it, so she stuck around for the ride.
With the addition of Daisy, Petunia, and the various other lambs born lately, we have a total of 26 lambs at Hill Giant Farm. Our barn is noisy, but the lambs sure are cute!
