I really promise I’ll stop with the cute lamb photos, at least for a while. But one more for the road.
It looks like the little guy is going to stick around. Now that I’ve gotten some milk replacer, getting him enough to eat is no longer a function of my skill in milking an uncooperative sheep. And the photo above notwithstanding (you can tell any story you want if you choose the right moment to make the exposure…), she’s still not showing any signs of interest in her lamb. The good news is that I now have absolute first-hand evidence that he’s getting at least some milk from her when she stands up.
And in other news, there is still a world outside the barn, though I’ve been paying less attention than I should.
