Here's a little red boy born to one of the yearling ewes. I put her off to the side with her lamb, as she was a little too lax on how to take care of it and clean it off. We just missed the birth and if we had just gone 15 minutes earlier, we would have seen him born this morning. Other ewes were cleaning him, and eventually Brick decided he needed a good scrubbing to get the gunk off his coat, so Brick held him down and cleaned him all up. Pretty funny - anytime the lamb would try to walk away, Brick would hold him with a paw and keep cleaning, left the cord completely along, just worked on mucous and stuff. Every inch it seems was gone over. I put the lamb and new mom in her own little slot to make sure they bond.
