    Lamb head/neck injury

She was laying there all limp and when I picked her up her neck just flopped. Was going to put her down...

    New lamb Mommy

    So. My hubby and I got a St. Croix lamb 2 weeks ago. He was only 7 hr old. The reason we did was his mom did not accept him, and wouldn't let him eat. The farmer told my husband and I he wouldn't have time to bottle feed him... So we took the lamb. My husband and I live in a pretty big ranch but...
