NOTABLE MIDWIFERY TALES:

Today was just a whole big collection of Little Things that added up to keeping busy all day.

There was the Castledale ewe with ginormous teats that were too big for her lambs to suckle on.

The lambs are happily suckling now though. 🙂

And there was the Hermione Situation.

Yes, she was trying to steal a set of twins this morning. (She’s so predictable!) She ended up being separated by way of spending the day in the garden until her babies were delivered. This time around she need a bit of basic help. Both lambs are a good size. 🙂
