#MarrinerRainbow winner

April was a strange old month. Our first full month in lockdown. It has been amazing to see the country rally together and show true kindness and solidarity in a huge number of different ways.

One of these has been rainbows. Rainbows in windows, on rearview mirrors, on walls, even hanging from trees – bringing smiles to faces and showing that we are all united in overcoming what we are facing at the moment, and supporting those key-workers that are fighting hard to…

The ladies are sent through a special run, that allows Chris access to place a probe on the udder. This will then send out soundwaves, which bounce back and present an image of the lambs on the screen. Just as you would see in a human ultrasound examination.

Depending on the number of lambs the ewes are carrying, they…

The flock are embracing their winter coats as the weather has changed recently – but no snow here quite yet.

However, there’s no time for a haircut at the moment! It’s busy busy busy at the Marriner Farm. All of the ewes have been separated according to the number of lambs they are carrying, so we can ensure they are all getting enough food and shelter to grow happy and healthy little lambs.

Even the rams have been on the move – relocated to pastures new to give the ladies the room (and…
