The lactating ewes are unaccountably tolerant of lambs using them as bed, table, climbing structure, or vaulting platform, both with their own lambs and others. Here, Matilda’s ram lamb is having a tête-à-tête with the firstborn ewe lamb, with sis watching on the left side.
And when the big black lamb isn’t negotiating with the Romney twins, she’s now competing with the adults for the morning corn ration.
And they seem to be giving her plenty of room. If the trend continues, she’s going to be a tough gal when she grows up.
