RE: Lamb pictures

Marvelous, Cyndi!  Your Suffolk may not be the brightest light in the sky,
but one look at those lambs and their lack of innate knowledge makes you
think "innocent little darlings."  I'm so tickled this ewe did well and that
you were able to get the lambs to nursing.  Thanks so much for the photos,
Cyndi.  You made my morning!

And if it will make you feel better, should something happen to us humans,
the bulldog breed will also die out.  That is human's doing as they need to
be born c-section because of that tiny rear end and oversized head and
shoulder region popularized by cartoonists.  Fortunately, there are efforts
to breed them back to being able to deliver on their own.  I hope it works!


Blessings,
Bonnie

We went out this morning to find a set of triplets, but this time all is
well. I did stay home from work just to make sure they all were nursing,
which they weren't. Two of them couldn't find the faucets. In their defense,
ewe has a bag as big as a cow's and the faucets are way lower than a lamb's
instinct tells them to look. After six hours I had to call my husband home
to help me hold the ewe so we could manually stick the babies onto her
udder. But it did work. 
Still...if we humans get wiped out by bird flu or some such there will be no
feral Suffolks. Dumb as a box o' rocks. 
Anyway here are some pix. Hope this URL isn't too long. I apologize again
for Yahoo, it absolutely will NOT allow me to put in a picture that I
rotated. It just does not take. Very annoying.
