Sorry you're down with it, like you and the others, it's been going around. I'm fighting it as well. Think I'm finally coming out of it though. Will be glad to have it behind me! Hope you kick it quickly. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Sorry you're not feeling well. Lots of people at work have been sick, too (and they keep coming to work and sharing it, ugh...). Hope you feel better soon!

So today is a sad day. Last year on this day I got a call from my dad that the ewes were acting weird. He told me someone hadn't locked the stall and they had gorged on cracked corn. I quickly made three bloat remedies and rushed to the barn. When I arrived Rosie and clover were waiting at the gate but Lily was nowhere to be found. I found her on the side of the pen laying down, ears droopy. In my mind I wanted to believe she would make it, but I knew it was already too late. I fought for a half hour, but she passed with her head in my lap. She was the first lamb ever born on our farm and she will always hold a special place in my heart. R.I.P Lily I know you are happy with your momma and son.
