Lambing Has Begun, Some Surprises (and Disappointments) 

Lambing season has begun, and our first 3 ewes have experienced some difficulties. Our Texel had no milk, so her lamb is a bottle baby. Our 1st Ile de France ewe had a retained placenta and laminitis and is slow to come to her milk. She has 2 really nice twin ewe lambs that are doing well. We are offering them a bottle twice daily to keep them topped off. One of our Jacobs had twin ewe lambs however, one was still born. The surviving lamb is doing well, So, as well as our goats have done, our sheep have some catching up to do. Thanks for joining us at Norwal Farm.
