Hi Folks
Surprise lambing, first time mum, 9 weeks after the other lot. We knew she was tupped for a second time after the others, but assumed she had not caught when nothing happened.
So big surprise this morning!! Out in fields with the others. OH found something he thought is afterbirth, but I think it is water sac. We have just managed to get her into inside ( not as easy as it was to type!!).
Question; should we leave it any longer before we look for a second (all previous multiple births this year, highly unexpected as well).
Problem: My OH is not the shepherd, I am ( I have much smaller hands) but I am pregnant and I am not being allowed near except in a '6 foot away' advisory manner.
Issue: We (He!!) tipped her and others when we (he) did their feet 3-4 weeks ago. Pretty gobsmacked we have one live one, and would not be surprised if there was a dead one inside.
All advice appreciated ( especially as Mum is a long wool and we could do with tipping again to make sure that 1st lamb is not sucking on wool!!)
thanks all
Jo
