At Vallby Friluftsmuseum in Västerås, spring has arrived, which means that the lambing season is in full swing.
A total of four lambs have seen the light of day, but another ten ewes are pregnant and are expected to give birth within a couple of weeks.
- We will see how many lambs there will be, each ewe usually gets two lambs, sometimes three.
So we expect just over 20 lambs, says Stina Ek Bredgård.
What should you think about when you see yourself coming with the animals outside the pasture?
- For the sake of the animals, it is good if you keep your distance so they do not get stressed.
But in these times it is also important that we humans keep our distance and do not end up close to each other.
