How's this for a big baby?
Meet Bert, who was born this morning.


Two little girls who were born last week.

The black one (Nosie) has a white slash going across her nose.
Some of the babies out in the big pen

Also some of my feather children cause I love them

The first 2 pics... all I could hear in my head was "She's got legs...."
ZZ Top... it is completely stuck there too! :lol:

Now those really are some legs... "and she knows how to use 'em"... see, stuck there. :lol:

I don't know many of his songs but I definately know ZZ Top!

We're actually thinking of keeping him as a ram...but we'll give him some time to grow and see.

Nosie( the little black one) isn't doing well. She was laying flat out on her side and allowed my dad to go over and pick her up. Our lambs are not friendly so this is concerning. After, my dad got her up she wandered over to nurse a little and he noticed her mom's bag was very small.
For some reason the ewe is drying up so he made the lamb a bottle which she devoured.

She actually had a little bit of competition. Bert's mom was a former bottle baby and made a real annoyance of herself when he was feeding the lamb. She was heading butting his arms trying to get to the bottle. She got to finish off the last little bit...This is a ewe who hasn't had a bottle in over two years.

My cheviot bottle lamb does the same thing! I brought out a bottle of colostrum replacer for my old ewe's lamb and Chevy ran right over and tried to drink it! And of course my lil turd of a goat was out there, too! Poor little lamb was struggling to nurse without interference.

Your lambs are big! Best thoughts for Nosie. I haven't had a bottle baby yet, but I have noticed that mine have very long memories for anything that has to do with food!

Ok newbie question- How do you treat the aural hemotoma? we had twins born 2 days ago when it was -15 and they have swollen ears for the same reason, they are thriving and mom is doing great with them:)

So for one of the lambs we just punctured the hematoma with a needle and syringe. We suctioned out some of the blood and left a couple of extra punctures to allow draining.
That's the minimalistic way of doing it.
