Coming Home For Lambing.

Just started lambing here. My twin mob has 10 ewes lambed for 19 live lambs so far. One stillborn today.
I also have another I think will die. Huge lump on his neck. Vet thought it was a hematoma from being stepped on and gave it anti inflammatory but no change in a day. I think it’s a tumour and doubt the lamb will survive its second night. I have been putting it on a test to make sure it gets a drink, but it is looking skinnier than it’s twin now.

Mine have been good this year

Had a gimmer last week, 1 lamb got away from her... marked it and put it back so I could watch. She doesn't want it, but it's been bullying her for a drink. Lamb is going great and sticks with the ewe and twin like glue :ROFLMAO:(y)
