Notable Midwifery tales:

No lambs born today! Slackers….. 😉

Aunty P seems to be “back on track” again, the merino ewe seems a bit brighter and I made the decision to hand-raise the ram lamb unwanted by his mother. (The day in a nutshell. LOL)

And I forgot to take more photos this evening when I was putting out some hay. I remembered when it was half dark but thankfully I took one this morning of the young lad who is newly on the bottle. A day old and he is bigger than Bibbi and Bobbi who are a week old. Haha

He’s taking to the bottle nicely.

Supposed to rain again tomorrow so no doubt there will be lambs born then. 😉
