Its been another busy night in the lambing shed...lots of mouths to feed, and a couple of sick sheep to give glucose to (just to give them a wee boost.) Unfortunately, at lambing time, it is quite common for some sheep to get unwell, but if they are caught early enough, they can make a full recovery. One of the first signs that a sheep is unwell is that she holds her ears back.
Tonight Duncan and I made up some new feeding for the sheep, it consists of wheat, barley, 'Lifeline' mineral (which boosts colostrum, improves vitamin and mineral status of ewe and lamb and promotes easier lambing and healthy lambs), hipro soya and wheat distillers dark grains. It smells delicious, and they just love it!!
I've fallen for your enamel buckets....love the lambs too!
