Spring Lamb

Just been to one of the Farms I have to visit near Hereford. I couldn't believe that lambing had already started.
Apparently it was a mistake as the Farmer forgot to separate the ram from the ewes early enough. But boys will be boys.
Fortunately (or not) the ram only managed to persuade 16 of his kind to indulge before the farmer got in the way (not literally).
Anybody else seen any or are these the first?
Couple of pictures to whet the tastebuds.

I saw some near Caernarfon the other day - but I think they were probably deliberate. That farm always lambs early, and they are usually the first I see.

Slivers of garlic inserted into the meat works well too.
