She definitely knows there's supposed to be 3 of them.
A bee got her. Don't be curious about bees with your face, guys!
Blocked off that corner of barn so the bees can do w/e and no one can get too close. She remembers which corner got her, lol, she listens and watches...
Anyway.
Biggest refuses bottle, follows mom for milk.
Medium one isn't as gun-ho about nursing, so she's happily drank from the bottle.
Tiny, on bottle. When mom isn't dancing around, I try to help lift her to nurse.
Mom doesn't have enough milk for 3, so Tiny will get the bottle until weaned. That means that Mimosa gets weaned on Sunday. She's overdue, wasn't expecting another bottle baby, so was feeding her until the bag was empty.

These pics should better show size differences.

Wow...third one is tiny! But often trips have a runt. Maybe she felt like she owed you one from last year.

At midnight, she started rejecting the tiny one. Fenced her off from everyone in case mom got a little too firm about it.
Anyone need a tiny bottle baby?

Teensie got a water bath, feeding and a short stay in the house.
New owner should arrive tonight for her.

If Kibito would of let her stay around w/o shoving her or bolting away dangerously, then I could of kept her. But being rejected leaves her w/o a family or friends and her size means she has to be in the barn or house.

Weighs in at a bit under 4.5 pounds today.

Teensie went to her new home!

Now I'm waiting on new owners of 0159 ewe & 0150 ram. Will round them up in about 1.5hrs, try to dry them off a bit, then wait.


Tomorrow, transport for ram 0141 should arrive.
In the morning, ram 0167 will be picked up by new owner.
Later in the day, a ram, 2 mutts & 3 ewes will be picked up and head out to Texas!

Who's left?

Spotted ram & spot carrier ewe will be off to their new home soon!

Seadra was the mom of Teensie!!! Almost certain of it.

She and her mom were within a couple of feet of each other and so were the lambs.
100% not interested, not calling, not worried, vag is not showing signs of lambing and is tiny n pale, firm fresh udder, hollowed, narrow.
Would of had to sell her as a bottle baby either way, but dang...
