Lambing started President's Day with a set of triplets. Good thing I finished building our permananet lambing pens (4) in an unused part of our large barn. The triplets are strong and were moved to ...
Our long term plan for the bottle lamb is to get a new mom to accept it as hers. We're looking for a ewe that delivers a single. Then we'll smear birthing fluid all over the bottle lamb and place it with the new mom. We had one deliver a single yesterday but the new mom was a first time mom and the ewe is small; we thought it best to not burden her with another lamb.
Until we can find a foster mom we will continue to bottle feed even though the bottle lamb hates the bottle.
