Lily seems to be doing fine now. The cow milk/buttermilk mixture seems to be doing the trick. I have to wonder how they came up with such a combination. But glad they are there doing their research for my benefit!
Last week we had four new lambs. One ewe had twins, one ewe and our first ram of the season,and Honey had a single ewe and 531T had a single ewe lamb. So that makes 9 so far. 90% survival rate. Not as good as I would like it. We are always sad to lose an animal.
Bad storm last night. All the animals in the sheep manger. The cows stay out in the weather but I can't stand the idea of the little lambs being exposed to the elements. Today was worse for me though. It seems that it can be 29 degrees and nice and then 40 degrees and windy and you just freeze! Well actually it was 65 yesterday and bad storms came through. Not a good day. And now it is windy! Blows right through you. Glad though it isn't wind chill of 30 below like being reported up north. Would not leave the house!
