At the moment we're juggling nine pet lambs here at Struan Farm. Matilda, Clover and Romeo are now in the paddock at the back gate, while the triplets Trixie, Dixie and Mixie are still in the Pet Pen with new ram lambs Alfie and Calvin. Calvin was rejected by his mum, it was a situation we watched for a day before intervening.
This morning I picked up a little ewe lamb that was born prematurely to a bearing ewe. She's still sitting in the sun on a blanket and doesn't have a name yet. I'm worried. She's eating but hasn't stood, so her prognosis isn't terribly encouraging.
Fingers and toes crossed for her.........
