[QUOTE="shearerlad, post: 6139910, member: 5825"] I've had an unusual number of deformed lambs this year. I thought I’d share them on here for interests sake. Small lamb born second in a pair of twins. Tiny body with twisted spine. Beltex out of an Aberfeild x Cheviot gimmer [ATTACH=full]783656[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]783660[/ATTACH] This one was coming breached with its back feet right under the brisket. Back legs are fused from the hips down, extremely long and cross over at the hamstrings. It had to be a CS. Lamb is a 3/4 beltex from a 2 crop ewe. [ATTACH=full]783662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]783664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]783666[/ATTACH] The first two I believe were living in utreo but died during birth. Third lamb was born alive but I had to put it down. One of a pair, front legs turned inwards like a crabs pincers, back legs out behind it like a seal. It’s twin’s front legs are a wee bit twisted but I think they will come right. [ATTACH=full]783668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]783670[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
