Spring is the lambing season in Scotland and Torsonce Mains Farm is busy lambing. Ewes and their new born lambs in the barn before they are put out onto the field. The farm is owned by Stewart Ranciman and has 600 ewes all lambing from end of March till the end of April. Most will give birth to 2 lambs, occasionally 3 or even 4. The price of a 40 kg lamb is £60-70 and most are ready for sale 6-8 weeks later. Over 12 million lambs are slaughtered in the UK every year, producing more than 230,000 tonnes of meat.
