Little ewe lamb has died too. So very sad     I think their chances were always slim. Willow was a first timer and lambed unaided in the pouring rain. I've a feeling colostrum was too late and they looked very premature. Willow is on our field with her mum and old mates. Still crying for her lamb but hopefully that's the best place she can be right now until her owner can come get her.

Aww that's so sad.   Here's hoping she has a bonny pair next year instead.

Oh that is sad. I'm sorry to hear that you've lost both lambs.

You did all you could and gave them a chance, sometimes nature is really tough on our feelings.

It is isn't it! Poor Willow doesn't know what's hit her. I so feel for her having her body go through all that preparation just to lose them. She's with our main flock (the ewes and lambs) which includes her own mum and a couple of old mates we swapped for two of our Gotland girls with her owner. They came up and greeted her as soon as she entered the paddock and she's been saying 'hello' to others. She's still wandering like a lost soul bleating for her babbas though    and calling back to other girls' lambs       Our lambs are almost as big as she is so no chance of her pinching anyone else's bless her (She's so small herself we took it in turns to carry her over the road to the other field! She can't weigh much more than 35kg). Maybe she can be an Aunty for a while? Her owner is leaving her with us for a week or two. We've agreed not to upset her right now by shunting her around yet again. She needs a little stability and who better than your mum hey?

Awww, bless her. Yes, I think she's best with her mum and old friends now too
