Some TLC


newly born lamb


At 0310 this morning, the other Texel ewe delivered.  Sunrise today is 0427. the sun is just  starting to come up( but it wasn't as  clear as this - the photo has been 'photoshopped' (well, gimped) .

 The second lamb delivered about 20 minutes later.

And initially both lambs were feeding and active








 But as the day went on the second twin wasn't as active as we would expect. So some TLC is called for.

We brought the mother and both lambs inside, so Junior no2  stays closer to her mother and it will hopefully be easier for her to feed.

And it has worked so far .  Shes not a alert as the first twin ,but getting up a stretching is a good sign
