We have a Hebridean ewe with a ram lamb who is 4 weeks old. She has seemed to be fine with him, has fed him, kept him close, calls him when we enter the field, escaped and took him on a little adventure etc.
However I noticed today she won't let him feed any more. Everytime he tries she walks off. She doesn't butt him, but she does very deliberately walk away.
Is it most likely because of his horns (which seem quite impressive for his age) or something else? She doesn't like being handled so it's hard to get a good idea of her condition under all that fleece but she looks fine.
Do we need to do anything for the lamb? Do we need to supplement it with bottle milk? It is out on grass with her and eats her ewe nuts. At the moment it's a very healthy looking little thing.
