Baymule’s 4th Lambing

[B&B Happy goats]

Well that sucks, sorry Bay...I hate loosing a animal at any stage of life....poor Eve...at least the goat berries were fresh and hopefully warm when you sat on them.....Hope the little man does well and thrives.....

I hope he makes it, but I am not holding my breath. If he will just nurse, he'll be ok, but he is so tiny and frail. Y'all know me, I'll do everything I can, but the ultimate decision is up to Mother Nature. Eve is a first time Mom, I have 3 more FF's to go and 2 other ewes to lamb.

Hope he comes around. A tummy full of that liquid gold will help set him right!

Sure do understand that situation and it isn't fun to watch...mother nature is amazing, but I often times wish she would make her mind up sooner than later when it comes to my animals fate
Will be checking for updates. ...good luck

Just went and checked on him. He is not so drawn up as he was, hopefully he is suckling. I took hay to Eve and she is snacking.

I got to looking for Lil’ Cutie, found her behind the round bale. She was laying down, barely able to nibble any hay, so I pulled hay for her. She is fat and miserable.

That sounds encouraging

I plopped down on my butt to work with the lamb and to try for a little milk. Thanks for the fresh pile of berries Eve. I would hate to think I was sitting in old, dried berries.

That was quite thoughtful of her! My hopes for the little guy and condolences on the one that died.

Bay I hope your ram lamb will suckle and improve.

I checked on the little guy when we got back from Tyler and again before dark. Eve had gone to the round bale and he went too. I was going to bring him in for the night, but I observed for awhile. sure enough, he got up and suckled. Eve is a very attentive mother and constantly talking to him. So I closed them up in the night lot and shed.

Sounds like he is turning the corner. If she is being a good mother, lots of little meals to keep his tummy full is the best. He is pretty.(handsome?) Can't fault her for the dead one, it just happens sometimes.
