Purplequeenvt in 2026

Her eyes seemed a little cloudy last night, but today they look better and she gets around fine now.

Ultimately, her biggest issue is a cleft palate. I checked her mouth today because even as hungry as she is, she doesn’t inhale a bottle like a normal bottle lamb. She also always has milk coming back out her nose while eating. That also explains why she has been unable to master nursing on her mom.

I’ll be tubing her for her meals for a while. I’m going to try a nipple made for human babies with cleft palate.

I’m very proud of all my first time mamas this year. Every single one has been excellent so far. 1 first-timer left to go.

Lise had a big handsome ram this morning.

Miss T hung out with me yesterday and she got mauled by the Shetland babies.

He is GORGEOUS!

What can be done for a cleft palate? Our pastor's son was born with one. He has had several surgeries, and he's only 8.

I was going to ask the same thing.

Not much for a sheep. Time will tell how well she’ll do. For now I’ll be tubing her to make sure she gets what she needs, but I’ll be playing around with different types of nipples to see if we can find something she can drink from safely.

Little Rocket passed away yesterday. Very sad, but ultimately probably for the best.

Jemima lambed early this morning. She had an almost 14lb ram lamb. I checked on her right before I fell asleep last night and she was lounging around chewing her cud. I checked on her again when I woke up and she was in almost the same spot, still chewing her cud but with a giant baby cuddled next to her.

Laughed at Jemima!

Sorry about the little one. But you are right, probably for the best.

Judy’s pickle went for an accidental swim in the toilet.


There’s something about cats and fiber arts.
