Our first lamb of spring was the smallest born on the farm, and I never expected her to live. She was half the size of her sister and could barely reach her mom's udder.
Twice a day I gave her a shot of Nutri-Drench, which gave her some extra calories and minerals. But, I never offered her a bottle. She was nursing and her mother was accepting her.
Every day, that little lamb peered out from behind her mother, letting me know she was still there.
While the other lambs packed on the pounds, she added ounces.
Now, 5 weeks after her birth, the cat still outweighs her.
But, she is eating, drinking and exploring--and it's time to move out of the barn. So this weekend, she, her sister and mom are moving from the barn and joining the rest of the flock.
I think she'll do just fine.
