Oh god! lets not even go there!

I don't think that there is a barn in the country big enough to accommodate 700 lambs and their mothers. My brother only has about 12 sheep that breed inside. These are usually the ones that have triplets and don't have enough milk to feed the lambs, so he gives the lambs some of his own and there are blue faced Leicesters, who's lambs are too fragile for the Cumbrian climate.
