B40 had a tiny ewe lamb this morning, Little Ringo is the sire. I did not jug her, she was being attentive and making sure the lamb fed. I caught her and tagged her with a scrapie tag. When I fed ewes there was a mad stampede of greedy girls, the lamb was crying for her mother, but mom was busy. When feed was all gone, B40 found her baby and took care of her. Pretty good for a new mom. I didnt get a picture, I’ll have to do that tomorrow.
Across the driveway in the middle pen, Bon Bon had twin rams. One was stuck in a pallet and was weak. He needed milk! The big deal was that for the FIRST time , Buford was in the night pen with ewes and lambs and he was perfect. He respected the ewe, gave her space and didn’t mess with the lambs or the afterbirth hanging out of the ewe. I heaped praises on him. I opened the gate and let ewes and lambs out on the field. Then I led Bon Bon to the working chute and set her lambs down. I fed her and finally got the white ram lamb to latch on and get his milk. His mouth was not warm, a cold lamb is a dead lamb, so I found him just in time.
Bon Bon wasn’t sure that he belonged to her, so I made sure he got to eat several times. Rocky is the sire of these two lambs, both rams.
