[QUOTE="Al R, post: 4918550, member: 7565"] As [USER=4408]@GTB[/USER] will know, welsh are horrendous for adopting onto. We’ve done a few skinnings the last few days and they will take them but not if you still have 1 of their own lambs alive. We’ve got 4-5 triplets here now and have started skinning a dead twin and keep in 2-3 days, works ok with the mules and texels. I have done a few wet adoptions in the field when I’ve had a first lamb dead, they’ve come in for 48hours then but with all the fluids on the floor we did it in the field. [ATTACH=full]647136[/ATTACH] I carry 3 Chinese takeaway boxes in the front box on the quad for small things(rings/tags) and needles/syringes etc, I had a twin ewe with 1 dead lamb the other day, yet her waterbag was on the floor intact, lifted into the Chinese box and drove a few mile back to the shed, splashed it over a spare triplet and it was taken instantly by her!
