When sheep have lambs you should build a pen for the lambs and their mama. However, the pen must be out of wind, reasonably spacious, and have a watering system. Leave the lamb and the mother alone in the pen after the placenta is out, make sure the lamb receives colostrum. In one case my ewe delivered a healthy male lamb but did not deliver a placenta. Eventually, the lamb looked weak so me and my helpers held her while one of us got the lamb on the teat. Afterward, the ewe was fine with nursing. Separation is important. Rams may ram the lamb! Leave the mom with her baby in the pen for at least 3 days. Then, you can let them out and bring them un at your will. DO NOT LET THE MOTHER AND HER LAMB SLEEP WITH THE OTHER SHEEP AT NIGHT!!! This will prevent ramming and harmful injuries for the mom and lamb.
