[Jacob-list] LAMBS 2004

[Heather Fogel]

We have a four-horn ewe, who was the last to lamb last year.  She is a bit 
onry, and would go around wacking the lambs when they got too close.  She had 
broken off one of her top horns as a small lamb, so only had one long one (the 
one she used as a wacking stick).  Before we let her out of the jug, we used 
OB wire and sawed off her long horn to the same length as the shorter one.  
She quit wacking the other lambs, but it could also be that she was too busy 
with her own to notice them, much.
