Troublesome baby!

[Kirsten]

Just had our first born during this snow storm last night! We didnt even know this ewe was pregnant! No udder development, no vulva swelling, no hollowing! If I didnt witness her water break, I wouldve never known. To add, the baby was too big to come out on his own and had one leg stretched behind him and his head tilted back. The little ram is fine and seems to be nursing, though we have bottles incase.

On lamb watch again tonight! Hoping for an easy birth of a little ewe!

(Ill be updating this with pictures!)

False labor last night kept me up until 11 haha!

Luckily our little ram is getting enough milk!

Thanks for the picture. What a sweetheart.

What kind of sheep are they? How's the lamb-watch going?

Another lamb born, but in critical condition. he's made it the first 24 hours but we're not sure he's got left. He's wheezing and his belly is swollen. (this damn ram!)

so sorry to hear about the poor guy

 

[Kirsten]

right as we called the vet, the baby had passed away... i hope he's frolicking on springy baby legs wherever he is.
