congrats!!!
It does sound crazy! Our vet did this fairly often though, even with hard to handle animalsI cannot imagine doing that with this bunch. They have come an amazing distance in the trust department since we brought them home. We built our catch pen in a wedge shape that has let us manage to catch all of those that needed catching (thank you Shepherds Hooks) but these girls are between 130-160 pounds and take some effort to keep their heads up high enough to keep under control.
That's why I had to call my neighbor for help. Teresa is a little thing and she has already taken a couple of hits from the wildest ones. All of the lambs that were born this year will walk right up to you for handling and we plan on keeping it that way.
