Snow in Early spring, these lambs were born a day or two ago, they are loving the sunshine, but that cold whitestuff, not so sure about that. The sheep on the farms here are well looked after, the pregnant ewe's are kept in the barn, and only let out when their lambs are safe and strong. Welsh spring lamb is highly prized across Europe, especially Italy - its about as good as it gets, all they eat is fresh green grass grown in open upland pasture and fesh sea breezes. Its not without its costs however, I am not sure if this style of small-scale upland farming is economic without EU subsidy and the sheep's grazing and cloven feet erode the landscape. Much of the British uplands would return to natural mixed forest and heath were it not for the constant nibbling of our woolly friends - one of the most significant factors in the shaping of much of the British landscape.
