Well I am iffy about him. I'm thinking he might have been kicked in the head since he is acting oddly.
I'll keep tending him along though.

We've lost a lot of lambs this year. 10 in total. But when you consider more than half of those came from the quints (3) and quads(3) it really hasn't been too bad.

With our live lamb percentage we are at 141%

Finally got him standing and toddling. He still won't suckle.

He was apparently running & bouncing this morning. So I'm pretty certain he got kicked.

Pictures tomorrow.

One more lamb, a ewe , Beazus. She also had one DOA not out of the sack..cut it open and it look it was dead for a while

Also I am no longer counting stillborns as losses... Nothing we can do about those really.

Milly sounds like she's working on something.

That was my question too! They werent in the best shape going into breeding do to our drought, but I guess being on hay forso long might have worked like a mini flush.
