Chillin' with the herd
I have a ewe that is a first time mother. She had a lamb about 2 weeks ago. It seems like every time I check on them, go out to pasture, look out the window, I see that she is running away from him, like full on sprints.
Initially, I thought it was mastitis, or something. But when I held her, I was able to feel her udder and she didn't shy away from me, and I was able to get milk out just fine.
The lamb doesn't look lethargic, and he seems to be growing strong. I'm wondering if this is first time mom silliness. I haven't had any of my other ewes do something like this, so the behavior is just off to me.
