🫢 Surprise! Lambing season is NOT over!
I found this 3-pounder running around, being chased by his cousins, when I went out to feed this evening. I had to do some circles to figure out which accidentally-bred yearling dropped him. We had so much fun 🤪 trying to catch her in the dark, but they are now in a jug! He was cleaned up 🛀 when I found him 🙏. She did claim him, and I sat and waited 🔦 until he vigorously nursed.
He's actually really tough for a lightweight. 🥊🥊
I think he'll be alright! We might have to call him Hercules or something.
I still need to salt pelts from the mobile butcher's visit today, put skulls in the cooler to deal with any other time but tonight, and then do the whole vet check/vitamins/navel dip routine later on this little lamb. I'm a night 🦉and tonight is beautiful, so I don't mind.
☺️
