Some pictures of new lambs
Posted: Friday, 06 April 2007 |
Sheep #16 lost both of her lambs (they were born dead) so we took one of #13's robust lambs and snuck it behind #16. Erlend tied three of his legs together and covered the lamb with birth stuff - and #16 bought the ruse and immediately adopted the lamb as her own!
Erlend put up that bar so the lambs could find a yow-free place to lie down. The yows tend to bash on lambs that do not belong to them!
"Are you my mother? You're not my mother!! Where's my mother??" We came home from a quick jaunt in toon and found a lovely pair of twins waiting for us in the main pen. (Those sneaky wooly ladies!)
A proud mummy-yow and her bonnie twins.
On the right is #13 and her remaining lamb. She never really noticed the disapearence of her other twin. She's looking good outside feasting on fresh grass!

It's a bonnie site to see and I LOVE it! What a way to greet the spring! I love seeing them outside frolicking around. Right now I'm teaching "my" caddie lamb to follow me around so he can get some exercise. He's coming along very well. Speaking of...I need to go give him his mid-morning meal!

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
