Newton is favoring one side of her utter.... she won't let any of the babies nurse on that side.... do I need to milk her? What do I do?

Can you try to get some milk out of it, it could be plugged up or sore. Try and see if you can express some.

Her utter problem just seemed to be a bit of a clog at the end of her teat, I milked a bit out (suprising enough she stood there patiently) and then let the kids go to town lol everything is good and everyone is sleeping peacefully

So much for the combination wedding and kidding



Good job Newton. Sure gave your "mother" fits for a long time but all is well now! I bet someone will be WAY more careful to know the breeding date next time around

Have you moved your ram away from your ewes so you don't have to do this with them in 5 months?
