My first “solo“ delivery

Born to Surprise early this morning. Surorise is a small ewe and a first time mother

When I was feeding PJ snd Sonyo this morning I heard a strange noise coming from the other side of the barn. After they had finished their bottles I went to find out what was making the noise. Surprise was sitting in the straw and making howling grunts. A little head was protruding from her backside. I pulled Surprise up into standing snd managed to pull the head and legs and told her to “push”. The lamb slithered out snd I imagined it was lifeless but I immediately cleared the mucus from her nose and mouth and I detected a slight movement. I rubbed her with straw over her face and body snd put her in front of the sitting Surprise and the mother begin to lick her lamb. Then a glorious sound – the lamb made a cry snd wriggled! I have left mum and baby in the barn as mum continues to lick the lamb. The last time I checked the lamb was moving snd almost trying to stand. Amazing. Click below
