Sent photos of ewe to vet and she does not have mastitis, what is causing that lopsided looking udder is her pre-pubic tenon that has torn. She may be able to lamb normally but lambs might not be able to get under the belly to nurse. Possibly more bottle babies. Not a good time for this. Either way she can't lamb again so . . . . :fl Hopefully she lambs tonight.

This morning GR37 had a single ram lamb out of Lewis and BL16 had split twins out of JR. The jugs are getting crowded again. This last ewe had to be penned in the aisleway between the jugs! DS1 and I will tag and vaccinate today so we can turn these lambs and ewes with the other 2 week lambs in the larger pen with the creep. About 10 to go. Some don't look ready though so that is good.

Tagged and vaxed all born up to today ready for shipping. Got CVIs and transport docs ready for Bob. Will leave one set with him and I will have a duplicate set. All docs are on computer so DS1 can download another set if necessary.

Feel horrible. Can only hope for a miraculous recovery overnight. I would delay departure except Bob is coming Saturday, sheep will arrive Sunday so have to be in Yantis.
