Bo Peep
We are a small sheep farm with a flock of 150 registered white sheep. Our sheep lamb from May to January.
Lambs born in sub-zero weather for the Easter market and other religious holidays need extra care. Lambing is
the time of greatest risk for the mother ewe, and although lambing in warm weather alleviates that risk, the
increased risk of disease and predators requires additional care for both ewe and lamb. The result is a very
seasonal lamb rearing workload. Duties and Tasks: Perform all work as directed. Works closely with the owner
