A busy morning! When I went out to the barn to feed the ewes, from the sounds of newborn lamb
bleats, 2 of the ewes had lambed in a small catching pen.
When I searched around I found 2 lambs up on their feet, and one ewe lamb that didn't look too
bright, so I brought her inside and put her in front of the fan heater to warm up and then took her
back to the newly-lambed ewes that I had shifted into another pen. I didn't know which ewe she
belonged to but I hoped that they did.
>From the calling of one of the ewes and the answering lamb bleat from inside the other half of the
barn, I figured that when I rehomed them, I had missed a lamb, so I hunted for it, found it and
reunited the family.
The one that I had taken inside to the heater seems to be ok now.
I will not be hand-feeding any lambs; they make it on their own to, eventually, become lamb roasts
or they won't!
