Lambs! One boy and one girl. In the middle of the night we lost the little boy he was smaller than the girl and born first. She is a first time lamber and a little nervous, plus Melek took it upon herself to help with the lamb and therefore the ewe forgot about him. He was okay at feed time but when we checked him in the middle of the night he was cold. I tried (as I always do) and gave him some milk we got from mom and held him with a heating pad. To no avail he passed on with me at 4:00 this AM.
Little girl is still well though. She weighed in at birth at 9.25 pounds! This is the ewe and ewe lamb.
