Madam has (again) been returning with the odd cade lamb from her Cousins place where she is helping out. The annual "never again" resolve has once more been forgotten....
Most lambs are easy enough to get going with the odd exception, but what really bugs me is when we get the odd one that will not suck... at all. Sometimes a feed or two via the tube will see them up and going and then suckling a bottle, but is there anything more frustrating than one that is healthy and lively, but will not suck.
Is there a solution other than a .22...?
THis time of year reminds me just why we don't keep sheep!!
