Two Lambings
A SECOND set of lambs is at present being reared by Messrs. 11. McLeod and Sons, Ngatarawn, off tho same owes this season. The lambs aro healthy and in good order, and tho mothers are also in fair condition.
Tho second lambing is due to the Southdown rams necessarily having boon left in with a proportion of the ewes on the property, due to no small paddock for rams being available. Fourteen half-bred ewes, whose lambs went away in October, have lambed in the past week, one ewe lambing twins, and it is anticipated that more of the ewes will lamb in the next month or so. The dry weather will naturally retard the fattening of the lambs, but -the owner hopes to get them away fat bofore the end of the season and thus prove that it is possible, under certain conditions in Hawke’s Bay, to produce two sets of lambs from tho samo owes in a season.
