Talk about making yourself at home.


Well we have a continuing name of "BETTY", well at least for the time being. Today Betty annoyed Zeeva even to the point of laying down beside her on her mat which lasted a good hour or so. Then when Zeeva went outside for a while she returned and found Betty in the middle of her mat and not willing to shift. Zeeva became upset and I had to find another mat for Zeeva she then layed down and they both were content for some time. Poor Zeeva she allows Betty to attach to her teats and stays still until the pain is to intense, moves and then 2 minutes later is allowing her to attach again. That is todays report. Mum said that Myles would have loved to care for this little abandon baby. What do you think Myles?

Her update

Today mum fixed the problem of wet spots through the application of a lamb nappy.
Then came the view that Zeeva was at some stage a proud mum.

New name required however at this time an agreement has not been achieved. That is it for today.

Poor Little Thing


Well today was not as happy as it could be. I went down to one of the bottom paddocks to do some cleaning and hear a litle noise. After hearing it a couple of times and seeing that there were no stock around I walked and found an abandoned little lamb. After finding the lamb I checked out the ewes to find the mother with none showing a developed udder. What this means is that the little thing is to be hand reared. Max came home from school and found the little one and named it "Chops" I hope he renames it in the coming days if it survives. Max is surprises how much the little thing poos.
