  1. The Lambpark Field is a field sheltered by trees and a big shed in one corner. This field is for the sheep and the young lambs for shelter during the cold months. The small weak lambs are put into the shed for a while, to get stronger and more able for the hard weather the pet lambs are also kept in the shed. Almost every farmer has a field called the Lambpark field on his land. They are all mostly situated near the dwelling houses so that the farm - helpers can keep a watch on the little lambs.
