Title: First lamb ever - a little traumatic!
Post by: hafod on April 08, 2015, 12:08:13 pm

A bit traumatic for our first one but here is our first  lamb.
She's a toughie! Having survived galloping around the paddock while still partly inside mum and a suspected dislocated shoulder  she is now warming in the sun and suckling. She's had some lamb reviver and mum has had some AB's and conditioning drench. Anything else I should do or just let them get on with it?
