Welcome to LambWatch

So sorry about Lyssa's lamb. That's a big loss and a big disappointment, too, I'm sure.

Her little brown sister is absolutely fine. It's been getting all the milk.

Looks like sheep are in the shelter still sleeping !

Morning all

She's getting a bit better thank you Helen. She's been on a "little and often" electrolyte solution today and gradually introducing milk (she's had very little since birth and is quite malnutritioned).

How is Lyssa's lamb? What news?

Thanks for good wishes, friends. I suspect the young man who was the perpetrator is severely ill, mentally.

I've sought advice from other shetland sheep keepers and there is still a possibility she could be in lamb, so not to give up yet! Her window of opportunity closes on 8th June, as does Fulvia and Freya. The more primitive breeds like boreray, shetland and north ronaldsay do only come into season towards the end of the year, so it could be that they just werent in season for the first potential cycle.
