Baymule’s 2021 Lambing

[Baymule]

We went to the post office and Walmart. Walmart was a zoo, everyone buying for Snowmeggdon. NO eggs. NO canned biscuits. So everyone is actually cooking breakfast? LOL Big gaps on the shelves.

I thought I’d be smart and I got lamb milk replacer so when I ran out of the whole milk, I could still feed the bottle lambs. They didn’t like it. It made their poop runny and STINKY. I didn’t like it either. So before Snowmeggdon hits, we got them more milk. I got 5 gallons. I’ll mix a little of the milk replacer in to stretch it out, but not a lot.

I just got a pot of chili on the stove to simmer, a Marie Calendars cherry pie in the oven, when it’s done I’ll go outside to do chores.

If your newest lamb is still chilly you could make her a coat from an old sweatshirt sleeve.

Cut the sleeve off to the right length for the lamb. Head goes through the cuff and make 4 holes for the legs.

Thanks, it's good to see you here. I would like to hear more from you!

I didn’t have an old sweatshirt, so I cut the arm off a sweater I didn’t like. First I stuffed the lamb in my jacket to warm her up, then she got a custom fitting. LOL I rubbed the sleeve on the ewe first. She sniffed her baby and accepted the sweater. Thanks for the great idea!

Happy Anniversary to you guys!

It's almost too late, but I wanted to wish you and BJ a wonderful anniversary too!
Oh, and I made a really delicious buttermilk chocolate cake with chocolate frosting in my new 9x13 Christmas present cast iron pan! It was so good! We about gobbled it all up, sorry you guys didn't get any.
You should come visit up here where it's warmer and the weather is nicer.

Bay, I just read the entire thread. You have beautiful babies. I just love Tiny and Reject. We’ve had bottle babies in the house. So much fun!

Reject and Tiny are fed, drinking my coffee, then I’ll suit up and get outside. Looks like 6/8” of snow out there. It’s 7 degrees. Low tonight of ONE DEGREE.

I may have to come in periodically to warm up. Weather news caster warned of frostbite. Frostbite? Frostbite? In TEXAS?

I don’t know how I’m going to get water to all the animals. This will be interesting and a major %#£~?&@$”

Everyone dealing with freezing temps, don’t shoot me but can you post a snow pic. I’ve been wanting a few days of snow. Bay, I don’t envy you. That sounds downright awful. I live in the Atlanta area and grew up in Savannah. Snow remains a novelty to me.
