Wind has been relentless here in the valley too....

 

[SageHill]

Strange weather all around.

Ugh. Saola ram holding his leg up. Can't feel a break.
Going to list Saola for sale, too.

Spotted some grainy movement at 5:20.
Bamboozled was fixing to lamb! Head and one leg showing, too big to shove back in, so had to get rope and pull! 6:30 and a huge ram was out!
Bamboozled × Ross
She's the "English Blue" Clefairy had. Lamb is jet black.

Will this ram’s black coat lighten up to blue?

Ugh. Another pointlessly huge lamb from a small ewe!! Wtf. Worse, it came breech, cord cut and ribs broken on one side. Fml. Delayed breathing, trouble standing. Milked mom and fed her, helped stand a few times. 10.12#
Ragamuffin × Ross.

No. These don't seem to have that type of agouti.

 

[Finnie]

Oh well, you didn’t want to keep him anyway.

Sounds like Ross is not an easy-lambing ram.

Who?

Sounds like Ross is not an easy-lambing ram.

He's sold, so it's irrelevant now. And all others were fine, 2 out of 7 ewes.

 

[secuono]

She's able to get up and stumble around, breathing is more normal now. But not nursing much on her own, probably because it's hard to keep up with a moving target when your side hurts. Got her on mom a few times, then milked into bottle to make sure she's eating.

 

[Mini Horses]

She's all colored up hope she does ok.

Do you give her anything for pain?
