Fuddy-Duddy sold. Still trying to sell Tatiana. Trying to keep to just Babydolls & the Corriedale n cross for fiber.

Ill be removing Lickety-Split's cast this weekend, its been 6.5wks. Vet charged $53 for a piece of duck tape during last time's checkup, don't want to waste more unnecessary money. 😒 She'll stay in her pen in the barn for a few days or longer, depending on how she's using or not using the leg. Then go out with the rest of the lambs.
She's also gained 10 pounds, so that's great.

Tatiana demonstrating.
Raising the floor inside is needed for shorties. Will also help with head going through further and stop lambs popping out from the bottom.
Will build up the ground in front, so they won't get stuck on their bellies. Lol
I'm thinking of making a back support. On rope with hooks, as the walls are straight & she would of slid out if it rotated too far over.

I saw a huge chute that had a sternum bar. It kept them from laying down & choking themselves in the headgate. Seeing her butt sink a bit, thought that might be a good idea. But with the huge height differences, a belly band would be best.

Totally freaked out for like 2hrs because I had 10 lambs counted instead of 11 & I couldn't find #11 anywhere!!!
Eventually, DH goes out to count & I run out with grain to count the adults, in case lamb escaped to them...
When I got back, DH tells me, hello, the friendly lamb, where is it?
🤦🏽‍♀️
Fuddy-Duddy.
She's the "missing" lamb!
🤦🏽‍♀️
Sold her.

Anyway, rest are eating grain & hay.
that brighter white is Hirola, not a lamb.
