While all the lambs born this year are thriving, we had a little Angora buck born that didn't fare so well. His Mama just wasn't in the mood to nurse a baby and was pretty cold and weak so we brought him inside. After warming him up and getting some of her milk/colostrum inside him, we took him back out and tried to reunite mother and son. Sadly, although the buck knew just what to do, Mom just didn't get it. So, we have a new addition to the menagerie INSIDE the house. MY human kid named the kid buck Lincoln, because he "has so many opinions". In other words, he's a noisy little bleeter! He is thriving- especially with the gentle care of our Australian Shepherd dog, Daisy. She's in heaven with a baby to tend.
