Newgirl97- Lambing Thread 2014: A light in the dark

[newgirl97]

Thanks @luvmypets

Pictures are coming guys, i'm just so unmotivated.

Yesterday we vaccinated the moms for Blackleg (The vet had told us just to do just the sick moms, but we suspect that the bottle boy we lost died from blackleg, not from being trampled.) So we did all of them, we ran out of stuff for the babies so we were got more today to do the babies with... we came home to find my little lamb friend, Dot had died.

Out of all the lambs, she was the sweetest. She'd give kisses and was just so so tiny (only about 6 or 7 lbs and a month old) I had dreams of her being sold to a zoo or as a pet, as she would be too small for breeding and for meat.

Rest in peace sweet baby. This has been a very tough lambing year for us.

Ive had alot of assists in the month of may. First was our big Lily, and today we assisted a chick hatch.

So sorry you've had such a rough go of it....next lambing season has to be better...right? Think of how much you have learned through this all...a very painful learning...but will help in the future.
