When they dislike one, they can be brutal. This ewe though wanted a baby; so that helped.<br /><br />We have one white ewe with a black lamb and spotted black and white one-- she adores them both. Anyway we were happy for this lamb but unsure how we lost the twin unless it swallowed something unclean right away after birth. It can happen.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-11714482312013324472015-03-14T12:16:11.971-07:002015-03-14T12:16:11.971-07:00What an interesting story about the twin lambs.

I remind myself for the rest that it's a good death and it serves an important purpose for my family to have healthy food as well as others since these have no hormones and only antibiotics when quite young and if something went wrong which means long out of their systems the many months later when they would become food. Still, it's not easy when the time comes to butcher. Without that though, there'd be none living to begin Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-37337354627543357842015-03-14T10:21:48.033-07:002015-03-14T10:21:48.033-07:00Wow, interesting about how you tried to fool the m...Wow, interesting about how you tried to fool the mom. I love lambs both as animals and as food, so could not live on a farm where they were raised...I would get attached I had not such problems when I raised chickens.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
