Baymule’s Farm

I sat down in the dirt and grabbed her collar, got the little ram up to her udder and he was hungry! Granny of course took off to run NASCAR laps around the pen, dragging me in the mud puddle. I got a crash course in Sheep Are Stronger Than You 101. There will be a test on that later.

Oh my word! I cannot imagine trying to cope with this craziness. Are these lambs Granny's first? At any rate I'm glad she seems to finally be accepting the babies as her own. What an ordeal!

Thanks. I guess it would have helped if I had actually posted the link!

Granny only likes the ewe lamb. I will tie her up each day for a couple of weeks, untied at night. If she still doesn’t accept the ram lamb, I’ll get him started on bottle feeding and put him up for sale on Craigslist.
Granny will get one more chance. I’ll breed her one more time. If she does this again, she’s gone.

What causes that to happen where the mother doesn't want one of her lambs? Maybe she thinks it's not hers?
