Poor Weebles. Animal husbandry is messy business. I hope you'll have a relatively smooth ride this season.Instant Jellyfish posted:Mina's mom had another litter over the winter and the breeder sent me these pics of all her fat baby siblings cuddled up with goats

Instant Jellyfish posted:Gross lambing story This isn't the happiest subject, but I'm wildly curious. Is it common for people to not seek help soon after it's obvious that something has gone haywire with their animal's birthing process? The case you described seems like certain doom for both mother and baby.

I looked up how much a sheep costs. It's a lot cheaper than I expected, even for nicer quality sheep.  If livestock vets are anywhere as expensive as pet vets, I can see why people are reluctant to shell out. Still, like you said, they should be ready to euthanize animals that are far over their budget to save.On a happier note, how is Mina doing? Is she any more graceful around the lambs this year, or is her Big Puppy Energy still too strong?

Mina is no longer The Big Puppy in your household! Oh no!

Sounds like Mina was working overtime to comfort Jazz. Good dog.

Instant Jellyfish posted:He sucked down a bottle on his own and is standing a bit so it's looking good so far! He's got no body fat but that should improve quickly. He's going to hang out in my nice warm bathroom until he's better and there are other lambs around. I hope the little guy pulls through.

I was wondering how the lambs were doing. Dear god, this one is adorable.

He was so excited to meet them I've always wondered how getting professional studio shots of animals goes. Looks like this set was easier than I would have guessed. I'm looks so handsome!

They're so big now! Lambs grow up in a flash, don't they?
