Notable Midwifery tales:
Today would have been pretty uneventful if it hadn’t have been for “Madame Thief” striking again. At this rate she will be rivaling Her Imperial Highness Kimmy for the Grand Thief award! The odd thing is that this ewe doesn’t appear to be imminently due to lamb. Hmmmm. So, current tactic is to keep her away from the ewes that haven’t lambed yet..!
This was her – acting distraught when I took “her” lamb away from her. (Thankfully, we seem to have convinced the actual mother to take back the lamb)
