Ups and Downs

The Lacaune that lambed on Friday rejected her little boy pretty much straight away. Over the last day or so he had begun to go down hill so at midnight last night we were putting feeding tubes down his throat and giving him some milk to try and revive him. Poor little guy was cold and we were stoking the fire well into the wee small hours to keep the room nice and warm. This morning he is standing and has taken another feed by himself and the cold has now gone. He's with us now in the office and the dogs are all looking after him and being extremely well behaved. Good news.

On top of that good news we had our first set of twin girls born this morning to one of our East Friesians. One is very small but both are feeding and look strong and healthy.
