Yesterday, I over slept, and my brain was on sort of function mode. So tired... Anyway, I got to the farm and found a new lamb laying near her mom. She's a big lamb. She was still wet when I got there. I dipped her navel and put her in the jug with mom. Mother is good and attentive. I left them after feeding, and when I came back to put everyone in for the night, the lamb was hopping around the jug. Tomorrow I will band her tail and pop them out with the others. Now, boy lamb (who is smaller than this girl) will have a friend to play with.
I am so very glad the weekend is just about here. Busy day at work today, and then I have to hit grocery store, feed store, and of course, the usual chores. We are getting some weather this weekend (surprise surprise). Everyone will be kept in during the weather... I am going through straw like crazy- another cost associated with winter lambing...
I feel much better today, had a good amount of sleep last night, and ate well. I have been losing weight from all this activity, which is a good thing. Soon, I can go back to the Dr for a checkup and not be embarrassed.
That's all I have for now.
