[Jacob-list] bottle lambs

[Linda Bjarkman]

I had a ewe prolapse two days after delivery - is that unusual?  I couldn't get a 
vet to come, so we fixed it ourselves - it was a vaginal prolapse, not a uterine 
prolapse.  That was happily my only experience with a prolapse.  Our first two sheep 
were Suffolk cross ewes.  The first one prolapsed, the second one had twins, one of 
which never stood up & died.  That ewe later decided to die for no apparent reason.  
I sure do love these hardy Jacobs - and our new vet!
