Anywhere near the city to go pet a lamb this weekend?

Is it lamb season yet?

I know there are some farms where you can hold a cute lamb. But do they exist yet?

Sorry my missus saw a youtube video and she wants to hang out with farm animals now.

Rumleys had sheep last time I was there (which was years ago). Plenty of cute puppies and bunnies to pet too. Maybe ring them to find out if they have lambs.

Leahys farm, near Midleton. How cute are they?

If you're not adverse to a 20mins walk, you could take the train to donabate and walk out to newbridge house & Farm, plenty of open space & cute animals to pet. Not sure holding is an option though

OP here. So I went to Leahy's farm. Was hoping that hugging baby lambs would make me quit eating lamb. But they weren't friendly at all.

Went for a lamb kebab straight after hehe. Gusta's in Middleton, really nice. Got the lamb fillet kebab.

I misread the thread title. Thought it said "where can I get a pet lamb near the city..."

It had me wondering. ...but how long will it stay a lamb for? Someone wants a pet sheep? Is the intention to fatten it up to eat it for Christmas?

Will there be a thread in December asking where to get a lamb slaughtered?

...I think Ill go back to bed...

I thought they were friendly and cuddly.

Any lamb around will be on the table tomorrow for dinner. Suggest she goes Aplaca walking.
