The Cade

Pronounced Cadee - orphan lamb in Orcadian.

so our 2nd set of twins came along a day or so early, at about 6am.
And after 6 hours one of them seems not to have fed (much) , so we thought we had better investigate.
So to see what was happening  we brought them inside.Its actually  much easier coralling a ewe that has just given birth - pick up the lamb and the mother usually follows.


And then the lamb (its a she) was a bit cold so needed warming up and then  to be fed as its mother has problems feeding 2.

 but once that has happened  going  back outside  with the mother and other twin is likely just to lead to a repeat tomorrow, we need to provide alternative accommodation for her
