It is lambing time once again! I found twin lambs this morning.  Not a textbook setting...one lamb had crawled through the wire panel and was hiding under my milk stand-I only found it due to it's loud cries of distress! The other was mingling with the flock with mama paying no attention to it at all.

I had my daughter Katie take hold of the lambs as I let the flock out of the barn-and out went Mama oblivious to her lambs.  I had to drag her back into the barn.  It appears that her milk hasn't dropped as I was unable to get anything out of her teats and she is usually a heavy milker.  I gave her some Oxytocin and mixed a bottle of colostrum replacer for the babies who sucked it down well.  Hopefully over the next few hours she will bond better with the lambs and her milk will come down. She's usually a very attentive mother.
