When we rescued some sheep earlier this year we thought they might be pregnant ladies and sure enough one of them gave birth to a lamb this morning. She’s a sweet little girl and mother and daughter are doing well.
Mum seemed to know what she was doing and was licking and fussing her baby within minutes of having her – she’s done this before. It’s amazing how quickly lambs are up on their feet and looking for milk, a nice feed and then she curled up in the straw and went to sleep with mum watching proudly over her.
