No new lambs and it looks as if we are going to have to help the mom out with one of the first two. She has mastitis on one side and so one lamb is fat and sassy but the other is looking poor. I've named one Whiskers, because she has white hairs on her jaws that look like whiskers. She'll be the one to get the bottle. The other one is Ashy. She has white spots on her back. With the temperature change we might have more, but no phone calls from Dad yet...
Update: We lost Whiskers. She went downhill quickly overnight. It makes me very sad, but I've learned after raising them for 16+ years that it happens.
Update II: Sandy the Sheepdog died today. She had been chasing cars with more regularity and one got her. Not a good day really...
