(She was fine after an hour, and has been a good mom since.) I wouldn't take the lamb; I'd probably tie her as safely as possible, or put him in a safe jug-within-a-jug so they can see and sniff each other while you have to be away. What was someone thinking, getting married this weekend!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-3287189164976494382009-05-01T07:42:00.000-05:002009-05-01T07:42:00.000-05:00Ugh!

Get a head gate for times like these. <br /> I gotta add that this is just one reason why I got away from breeding ewe lambs. Most of the time, everything goes smoothly, but I have noticed a psychological "maturity" lacking in some ewes who lamb as yearlings. Not worth the headache. <br /> I do hope everything is okay with the hurt lamb, and the rejected one.Juliannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180577028964783681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-73984870846206003672009-05-01T07:35:00.000-05:002009-05-01T07:35:00.000-05:00Oh Garrett what a day!

Website is http://www.vkvboers.com/index_page0004.htm <br />Terri Drimel bought one and she likes it for her Shetlsnds. The best thing would be for his mmom to accept him after a couple days of forced nursing. It may still work out, but I've been there before and it's SO frustrating. Good luck!Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664957352385337093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-71571043112105011542009-04-30T22:33:00.000-05:002009-04-30T22:33:00.000-05:00if you can jug him and mom and tie her up for the ...if you can jug him and mom and tie her up for the time you're gone tomorrow, I'd do that. Make sure he gets a good fill before you leave, tie her up in the center of the back so she can't get hung up, and let her stay put until you get back. It won't hurt him to go 8 hours without milk, and chances are he may at least get plenty of milk as he wants it with her tied. He may be your best ram lamb fleece, but he could also end up someone's best fleeced wether too. <br />:-)<br />Cheesecake's ewe lamb pic is up...I know, I know.....<br />szzzzzzzzAlaska Shetland Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911885285679059104noreply@blogger.com
