I’ve done some more shifts since my first post about lambing!
On my second shift I got to bottle feed the lambs again and muck out some mother pens. 2 twins where born while I was there that I and were moved into a single pen.
We also transferred some ewes and lambs into the field outside to make room for some more ewes that would be lambing soon. I got to bottle feed the lambs again and spend some time with them. I also got to vaccinate a lamb against Orf. Orf is a skin disease that causes scabby lesions to develop on the mouth and nostrils. I scratched the lamb with the vaccine on the inside of its back leg.
I’m hoping to go back and do some more lambing at the end of April when the other set ewes are expected to give birth.
Below are just some of the pictures I took on both days
