Lambs must be just as bad as calves... find the d#@nest places to lay down, get stuck under... Had a calf get stuck under an old house... higher on one end and must've tried to crawl up under it when it couldn't get up and it was a horrible time getting it out. Glad your lamb wasn't "too stuck" under there...

Checked video for her tag. It's Flim-Flam, 1yr 4mo old. A dodo teenager/young adult. Lol
She wouldn't of gotten out on her own. =/ She probably did hide under that trailer last year as a baby. Several did, but they were tiny enough to crawl around back then.

Moved lambs and ewes out together.
Again, it's dry out. Such a dry year! Pond is 8in or so low on water. Pastures look dead and deserted. Lol
House still not done. Not bushhogged. Not fenced. So, they need to keep rotating until it's all done.

My pup, Buford T Justice, does the same thing. The other 2 Anatolians are suffering in this 100+ heat we’ve been blessed with for 2 months. Not Buford, he goes swimming and minnow pouncing. The pond has shrunk to a puddle, but he can still get wet and cool off. He lays down with just his head poking out. Sentry is safely on the bank.
