Border and North Country Cheviots are known for having lambs that get up and go quickly, and this ewe is no exception. The second lamb was from a Dorper ewe, and it was still somewhat wet. Taff and I put her in a dry stall with lots of straw. She seemed to be a good mother and the pair should be fine.<br /><br />It's 27 degrees and clear, which is easier for the lambs to handle than 37 degrees with rain and wind. We heard coyotes yipping on the hill, as did our guard dogs (Buck and Boise) - they're definitely on the job tonight.FlyingMulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319140214676274456noreply@blogger.com
