We were on our way back from town when we saw a lamb near a fence along side a back road.
We stopped at the house there to ask if it was theirs,
Noone came to the door so we left a note letting them know there was a lamb loose on the property, and to give us a call if we could be of an assistance.
The next day around 3 we got a call from the landowners brother they did not own a sheep, and to come get her.Â
So monday night after work i went out into a 20 acre field to chase the little devil around a bit. So with a pack of licorice as bait in hand. I was on a mission.Â
Brought her home and gave her a warm safe place to stay.
This is Sheba the sheep, and i didnt name her. I want to get 2 more and call em Larry Moe and Curly. LOL
And since its spring time calveing season is in full swing. Heres a couple we just picked up.
Daisey Top: Had a twin. She was the smaller of the 2 and the farmer didnt want to keep her. she was the first and is about 3 weeks old now, but in the photo she is only 4 days old.
Then about 10 days later there was Otto. He was a freebie because he was sick. The farmer didnt want to deal with a sick calf since he had so many and he all his calf hutches already full for now. So we took him. Hes 100% now and will be a huge bull calf. Newborn hes bigger than Daisey already.
Otto (L) meeting Daisy (R) Ive been bottle feeding before work and after, and Lady gives em the noon time bottle.
Im looking forward to the next calf, Then i can change all there names to Larry Moe and Curly.Â
Enjoy,
Brother B
