I posted this in our 2018 Lamb thread, but I thought it might be more useful to someone in the future if it is in this section and easy to find. It is a bit cheeky, but some very good video on setting a broken leg in a lamb.
Well we had to do some doctorin' aroud the place recently so of course we took some video :) This includes what happens when a very young lamb breaks a leg :(
We had an eventful weekend ya'll. 2 of our 7 ewes have lambed. That means they we pregnant before we got them and will let us add some new blood to the herd YAY!
Most of our flock are first year girls but these two are on their second go around. Which do yall think will lamb first. Big money in on Clara but Marie went first last year and she is sneaky :)

Should I start a new thread to get more eyes on this?
