Remember Huachuca, the first Shetland lamb? Look how big she is after just a month.
These two babies were born Easter morning, so I am naming them Easter and Pasqua. The ewe is really tiny, but not as little as the ewe lamb born this evening. The lamb born this afternoon is weaker than any I have seen. She is now getting up and moving around on her own, but her mother is a first timer and won't stand still for her. Marc and I have already been out twice to help her eat. If her mom does not get with it by 11, I will bring the baby in for the night. I hate to, but it will help her survival.
Duster, a red doe had a buck at dinner time. She is another "teenage"mom, who is not feeding her baby. She did not even dry him off. I just blow dried him. He did not want to suck. He knows where the teats are, so I am going to leave them be for a while.
