Raising lambs.

I can understand why the ewes quickly walk away from their lambs as they are bruisers! They head butt your legs looking for a teat, even biting at your trousers. Milk goes everywhere until they latch on and start drinking. So far we haven't killed this lamb, our record hasn't been good in the raising of lambs so it was a possibility, however she's drinking 275mls now. We put the lamb in a dog crate which is covered by a horse blanket in our wood shed. The chooks aren't pleased as they like to hang out in the wood shed. Initially the lamb wore a coat but that has now come off.

We were told not to give it a name and we probably won't as she's not very likable!
