Baymule’s 2025 Lambing

[Mini Horses]

My, my, my --- and we keep saying that lambing & kidding time is so "wonderful" . Mostly, it is!

This makes me dread what's coming. And we have little choice but to make it work!!!! I've fought a few.. It ain't pretty.

So -- I'm thinking sell goats, raise chickens, sell eggs!

Not a bad idea - but you know we wouldn't do it. We love it and besides we NEEEEEED all this drama, lol!

I went back out at 3:00 and both lambs were curled up, looked ok. Neither one was screaming in hunger. I put the halter on Granny, tied her head high and the ram lamb got busy. It went better this time. Going out now for last feeding.

Y’all go ahead and laugh. Laughing keeps us from going over the edge!

When her milk gets moving thru, he'll smell like hers and it should get easier.

His tummy was empty. Ewe lamb was full. I put the halter on Granny, tied her up, pushed her against the wall and let the little boy eat! I let him eat until he just wasn’t interested any more. I got the ewe lamb up and started sucking. I had taken the halter off and Granny sniffed the ewe’s butt. So I pushed the ewe back and the ram latched on again. Pulled the ol’ switcheroo! I let her sniff the rams butt and she did a light snort, like that’s not mine! But he was full and happy.

Tomorrow it starts over.

I really should build a portable bolt together head gate. This gets old. Real fast.
