Our March Madness

Lee injured a toe this weekend; bruised or pulled something while helping me with chores. With him on rest, Fern has been pressed into service. This weekend she helped bring a new mother and her lambs into the barn. Before her first lamb was delivered an other lamb decided to thieve some milk. Since the ewe was in labor she started mothering this lamb and allowing it to nurse. After delivering her second lamb Fern and I went out to bring the ewe and her lambs into the barn. I carried her lambs and Fern followed the ewe with the milk thief. The ewe kept trying to stop and nurse the thief and Fern kept her moving and moving in the right direction. Once in the barn we separated the milk thief and sent it back towards its own mother.
