Lambing Update

Patsy is clinging to life.

I ended up taking her to the vet to be tube-fed colostrum.

Don't laugh.

Okay, I'm not much of a farmer. But I didn't want her to die - even if it isn't economically sound to save her.

She's standing up now but Wooly is reluctant to let her nurse - I guess she figues Patsy ought to have died, so she only has to feed one.

So I've been milking her and giving the milk to Patsy in a bottle.

Stay tuned.
