New lambs raise a few eyebrows at Ballintoy farm!
The Jamison family have a large flock of Texel sheep on their Ballintoy farm and within the last two weeks have been keeping a close eye on four new arrivals.
Brian Jamison admits that it was a totally unplanned event and could have been down to a stray ram which made an unscheduled visit to his farm around Easter, but is more than happy to welcome the new lambs into the fold.

“Lambing is traditionally around March and you wouldn’t expect this sort of thing to happen until a bit later since the year.
“In theory, these Texel could have three ‘crops’ in one 12-month period,” he added.
