We had a lamb last year that was the smallest of a set of trips, smallest lamb I have ever seen, never weighed her, but if she had weighed a kilo I would have been amazed. She was literally the size of my hand but had the strongest suck reflex ever. Had to be careful not to allow her to over indulge in milk as she ended up looking like a rugby ball after feeding. Out of all the pets she was the toughest, most bolshy and went on to do fine. She was of course named Tiny.
I have one just the same right now. It's a 3/4 NZ Texel twin that has been rejected by her first 2 dams and is now back in on the machine. She's a week old now and just over a kilo, but has so much fight in her I keep giving her a chance. Lord knows if she'll ever come to anything though....
