Be ok for at least another month lack of grass will start to hurt new season lamb supply..... well it may not.....could be lots of light lambs some forward 🙈

The last bidding was set at third week in May or later
Grass situation won’t bring SL any faster

Should be ok just keep spraying it with Terramycin. And jab lamb for a week

Never had one that far out before so was a learning exercise had too cut its belly open too get them back in again... were pretty clean going in but only things too hand were an old lady’s sewing kit and my Stanley knife [emoji85]

Do better than me. I’ve tried a few times, never been successful. Now I euthanise as soon as I find them. Luckily I don’t see many!

It was fresh born only within half hour, all intestines were still clean and intact, I’m very confident I got them all back in how they should care out... it’s just if infection gets it and also if my stitching with a sewing kit is up too holding it together ..big strong lamb walking round within 5 minutes of me sewing it up which I was amazed at, belly full of colostrum and plenty AB and pray

I saved one like that but couldn't stitch it so I used superglue. It worked a treat.
