Baymule’s 4th Lambing

[Bruce]

They do it here as well but I'm pretty sure the plumbing doesn't work with respect to procreation.

Lucy, FF and daughter of Miranda. Twins. This makes 13 lambs. Since Lucy isn’t very trusting I haven’t checked them too closely. They still have to get up and suckle.

You have that color going on this season. Is that the last of them or more still to come?

FINALLY!! I have a black and white spotted EWE LAMB! The red head is a boy. The ewe is cold, hunched up and still hasn’t suckled, the boy has made numerous trips to the milk bar. I may have to tie Lucy up to get the little girl to latch on. I took them up to the barn under Trips watchful eyes.

This is the last of them. The ewe wouldn’t suck. I called BJ and he ran a bottle out to me. I had a time catching and tying Lucy up, I milked out some milk. I squeezed drops out on the lambs tongue, then milked Lucy again. BJ had run out in flip flops, Lucy stomped his toes while he helped hold her, not to mention his feet were cold! I milked Lucy 3 times, the lamb finally sucked the bottle. Then more Sheep wrestling, putting the lamb up to the udder, squeezing the teat, standing practically upside down and being rewarded by a baby lamb latching on and suckling. I finished morning chores, keeping an eye on the baby. She has it all figured out now and is catching up to her brother.

My good husband made me more coffee. When I finish it I’m headed for a shower. I’m covered in poop and lambing goop. It’s been a good morning.
