Lambing/Breeding 2014-Parsnip

[Heather]

I tried very hard to get the lamb out. I could get one leg and feel the head which was VERY large. I called work and told them I would be a little late but was unsuccessful manipulating the lamb. The ewe was not helping at all. She was fighting me every step of the way.(I really do not like wild aminals...sheep, cows, whatever) Called the vet out(who recently broke her back). I was at work but able to take a few minutes to communicate with her. The ewe was not going to have the lamb naturally even with assistance so the only option was c-section which she wouldnt be able to rebreed or cut the lamb out piece by piece which could still severely hurt the ewe. I made the decision to have the ewe slaughtered before she became septic. I know some people may not agree with my decision but to me as hard as it was it was only right for her. Its not easy and we are having a very hard time with this. While they are just animals they are still a part of the family and a part of the flocks family.

I know that had to have been awful But sounds like it was the right decision to make.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!
That's awful... but it sounds like you made the right choice.

Sending hugs and love your way!
