[Jacob-list] rejecting lambs

[Linda]

This morning I watched out the living room window as a first time lamber 
delivered a single lamb out towards the back of about a 3/4 acre 
paddock. When the lamb was born, she took one look at it and ran to the 
back corner of the fence - about 30 feet away and stared at it. I 
figured d**m and got some colostrum out of the freezer. And watched for 
awhile. The ewe kept creeping closer and closer to the lamb - a little 
wary, but interested. After about a five minute stalk, the ewe reached 
the lamb, took a sniff and started cleaning a handsome lilac ram lamb. 
Lamb is up, nursing and bouncing now.
Sometimes we jump in too fast to help, when no help is needed.

Linda .
